Homepage HTTP Error 404 API request to my portainer

[Marcjaeger]

Description

Hello, im experincing a weird problem with my homelab, which im in the progress of setting up.
Wanted to create a monitor for my homepage as to the status of my containers.

The API key was created in the Access token on the web interface of portainer.

This is the logs of my homepage container:
error: HTTP Error 500 calling http://url:9000/api/endpoints//docker/containers/json?all=1
And i find it weird its trying to call for endpoints//docker which doesnt seem right

Does any1 have an idea to whats happening?

homepage version

v0.9.13

Installation method

        href: url:9000

EDIT: i found out you need a env file. created a file in my app/config directory called .env and wrote:
HOMEPAGE_VAR_PROTAINER_SITE-1_API_KEY=API_KEY
And this is my refined config:
widget:
type: portainer
url: url:9000
env: 2
key: {{HOMEPAGE_VAR_PROTAINER_SITE-1_API_KEY}}

But now it says: API Error: Invalid JWT token
any ideas? :D

There is no requirement or expectation that you use ENV variables for any of this, but that is fine if you prefer to do it that way. I'd suggest, however, that you make sure it's working the most basic way first (e.g. copy and pasting the API key into the config example in your original post).

Perhaps the problem was that the config in your original post was missing the env: 2 line, which refers to the portainer environment, not anything to do with using ENV variables (.env) in docker.

Finally, note that changing environment variables (like HOMEPAGE_VAR_...) in docker requires re-creating (not just restarting) a container.

Thanks, that worked.
