HttpListener setting in unRAID docker

[rbronco21 11]

This is a small annoyance I've found in the unRAID docker. In my other dockers, I change my WebUI to http://unRAID:[PORT:8096]/ and I've done this to Emby, but it is using HttpListener to set the server to the IP instead of the name. I'm hope there's an easy way to modify the HttpListener variable to use the server name instead of the IP? And when an update is released, maybe include that change?

Hi, what exactly do you mean by this?

Sound like OP wants to use host/machine name instead of IP.

I know this works in Windows as I use host name all the time but have no idea how this works on other platforms/docker.

http://homeserver:8096/

http://prodesk:8097/ (test system)

I set WebUI here in the docker settings.

When I go to my Emby docker and hit the WebUI button, it opens http://192.168.1.10:8096/ instead of http://unRAID:8096/.

I have zero experience with unraid. Where does this HttpListeher variable come from? Googling doesn't yield much.

It's in the log, but I don't know exactly what is happening. I just know that I set the WebUI variable and it isn't used. I wish I could dig deeper.

Don't know anything about this platform, but this old post suggests not possible unless this has changed.

It looks like they are looking for variables like [FQDN] and [HOST]. I assume you could type in your own FQDN (or hostname, which is what I do) instead of using the variables. I have replaced the [IP] variable with a name in all my other dockers and it works. All the dockers I've used default to http://[IP]:[PORT:8096]/, but I always change it to http://unRAID:[PORT:8096]/ because I don't have to  worry about IPs. Chrome and HTTPS Everywhere seem to prefer it, too, or at least the settings don't get polluted with a bunch of IP addresses. Like I said, just an annoyance really. I've resorted to making bookmarks to my dockers so I can start typing Emby and Chrome knows to go to the Emby bookmark which is http://unRAID:8096/.

Now that I typed this all up, I don't know why it uses [PORT:8096], instead of just using 8096. Is the number a backup in case [PORT] isn't set? http://unRAID:8096/ should work wihtout the variable, I think.
