Docker

FolderView Plus enhances the Unraid Docker page without replacing container configuration or application data. Saved folders organize native rows and expose eligible actions through folder-aware controls.

View modes

View	Purpose
FolderView	Groups native container rows into the saved hierarchy.
Host list	Restores the normal Unraid Docker table without FolderView grouping.
Command	Presents a folder-oriented command surface while retaining native container actions.

Changing views does not delete folder configuration. Reset view clears temporary toolbar filters and returns to the normal unfiltered state.

Capture the View menu with FolderView, Host list, and Command choices. Use test container names and enable Privacy before capture.

Folder rendering

FolderView leaves native rows available during startup, obtains a coherent inventory snapshot, and then groups visible rows. Later start/stop/update changes reconcile incrementally when structural configuration has not changed.

• Expand a folder to show native container rows.
• Collapse it to show the configured preview.
• Direct members and child folders remain distinct.
• Host list is the fastest comparison when investigating grouping behavior.

Docker actions

Eligible folder actions may start, stop, pause, resume, restart, or update members. Eligibility is calculated from current state and supported host actions; unsupported operations are hidden or disabled. Folder locks prevent accidental branch-level operations.

Always review the selected scope. A folder action may operate on several containers.

Collapsed preview cards can expose quick icons for Open WebUI, View logs, and Open Console when the container and host support them. These controls act on the selected member, not the complete folder.

FolderView Action Bar

The responsive Action Bar provides:

• Add Folder, Expand All, and Collapse All.
• Temporary Unassigned, Updates, Empty, and Health Issues filters with live counts.
• Manage Folders and the View menu.
• Show/hide empty folders, clear folder focus, refresh folder state, Bulk Assignment, Rules, Reset view, and Capture page diagnostics under Tools.

Unassigned/update/health filters are temporary and do not rewrite saved folder order or visibility. Show/Hide empty folders changes the persisted hideEmptyFolders preference. Reset view clears the temporary filter/focus state and returns all eligible rows.

Command View

Command View is a FolderView-owned operational surface. Each folder card summarizes direct/descendant counts and eligible states, then offers branch-aware commands:

• Start branch and Stop branch.
• Update branch when updates are known.
• Force update when no normal update branch is available; use only when you intentionally want Unraid's force-update behavior for the branch.
• Open WebUIs for eligible members.
• Edit the folder.

Branch commands include descendants. Review displayed eligible counts before continuing; locked or ineligible members remain excluded or disabled.

Capture one branch card with state counts and the five command buttons. Use disposable test containers.

Status, health, and alerts

Folder summaries can show running/stopped/update badges, state details, trends, attention accents, and a runtime health badge. Docker health presets control how stopped percentages, updates, and all-stopped conditions affect severity. These are presentation and operator-awareness tools; they do not change container state.

Privacy

The Docker-page Privacy control can mask names/icons, LAN IPs, ports, volume paths, registries, public IPs, interfaces, and external URLs. It changes rendered text, copied text, labels, tooltips, links, and new rows observed while enabled. It does not modify Docker configuration. See Privacy.

Compose Manager

Compose Manager is an optional integration. FolderView Plus detects compatible labels and metadata where supported, but behavior depends on installed versions and available host markup. If rows are missing or duplicated, compare Host list, disable conflicting custom overrides, and include plugin versions in the report.

Native Docker safe mode

When FolderView Plus detects an unsupported or future native Docker surface, it preserves Unraid's page and avoids injecting a second folder hierarchy. A safe-mode banner is a compatibility protection, not proof that saved folder data was deleted.

Do not force legacy selectors onto a native page. Capture diagnostics and check Compatibility and Performance.

Troubleshooting sequence

1. Switch to Host list and confirm native rows exist.
2. Reset temporary view filters.
3. Expand the affected folder and compare direct members.
4. Hard-refresh after plugin updates.
5. Disable custom CSS/JS temporarily.
6. Use Tools -> Capture page diagnostics before leaving the affected layout.
7. Copy runtime-banner diagnostics before refreshing if an error is present.
8. Run Settings Diagnostics, confirm the capture is fresh, and attach a sanitized bundle.
