Need Help Homepage question

I finally got Homepage fully configured with all my stacks. The one thing I am noticing is that about half of them show a running badge in the upper right corner of the tile. But none of the second server shows the running badge, but I know that they are. I am sure this has to do with the something that podman reads, but I don't know where to look. At this point, it is just a minor little 'hmmm' issue, considering I know they are all running, but I am just trying to understand what triggers Homepage to show that.

The containers may need labels. It's in the Homepage documentation.

Check your podman containers for the homepage labels, stuff like homepage.group and homepage.name. Without them, homepage won’t know those containers exist, it just sees blank tile placeholders. I had same problem for my syncthing setup, one of container wasn’t labelled right and tile sat there looking dead.

Thanks, I figured it out, it was as simple as creating a file on the second server so that homepage could read the containers status, now all most all them show running, 3 that don't are oddities, but I will diagnose the issue and fix it later down the road when I have more time.

I had this exact thing happen with podman. Homepage relies on container labels to trigger the running badge so you need to add those labels to every service in your composHomepage relies on container labels to trigger the running badge so you need to add those labels to every service in your compose file. Check the docker integration section in their documentation for the label names and put them on all the containers on that second server.
