Dockhand is being retired, so the Docker tab has to cover what it actually
earned its keep doing. Eight pieces, all per container or per machine:
- Stats: CPU, memory and IO over time, from sensors already collected.
- Health: the container's own healthcheck, with the last few probe outputs —
which is where a failing check says why.
- Events: `docker events` keeps a minute of backlog and nothing more, so Ham
Lab follows the stream and keeps a ring of its own. A restart at 4am is
still there at 9.
- Shell: `docker exec` into a container, in the terminal already here.
- Limits: memory, CPU and restart policy changed live, without hand-editing
the compose file for a number you want to try.
- Updates: what the registry has that this machine does not, for every image
at once rather than one stack at a time.
- The same across every machine, asked of the hub — which is the only thing
that can reach them all.
- Schedules: a real line in /etc/cron.d/hamlab-docker calling the binary,
in the same shape as the ZFS snapshot schedules. Dockhand updated DNS and
ingress nightly from a ticker inside a web app; a cron line keeps running
when the console does not, and is visible to anyone reading the machine the
normal way.
internal/compose is new and shared, so a deploy from the console and a deploy
from cron invoke compose identically — including the case where compose has to
run inside the orchestrator's own container, where the paths are that
container's and not the host's.

The name a machine was added under stays its identity — the URL, its accent, what the hub's
API calls it — and is what the Machines page shows as 'Added as'. The hostname is read live
rather than at start-up, so renaming a machine reaches the console without a restart.

A new stack is a folder in a home (where stacks are already kept: Dockhand's group here,
~/stacks elsewhere) with compose.yaml and an optional root-only .env, validated by compose
before it is kept and deployed the way its neighbours were — inside dockhand, or to a node
over tcp from the hub. New container is the same dialog on a form that writes the compose.
Homes are scanned, so undeployed stacks stay listed. Delete moves a stack's files to
.hamlab-trash; nothing is forced, and volumes and data are never touched.

Stacks: deploy with every compose file (labels from inspect, not comma-joined ps);
refuse a stale overwrite; empty list without Docker. Alerts: firing state survives a
restart without re-announcing; vanished alerts are recorded as cleared with the reason;
rule values validated; 200 rules. Docker: 404 for a removed container's logs. Skins: four
palettes lifted to readable contrast. Phone: bigger toggles and swatches. Installer:
deploy republishes; an older published build is never installed silently.

Stacks are found from container labels; the file is resolved on the host or through an
orchestrator's mounts, and compose runs where the file makes sense (inside Dockhand here),
so a redeploy is identical to how the stack was deployed. Save validates with compose and
keeps a .hamlab-bak; Deploy / Update / Restart / Stop run as followed tasks.
