I haven't been able to figure this out either, my dashboard is just links to my other containers with no obvious way to get at the juicy stats.
Can Heimdall use the Docker socket?
You can get access to most of them by setting them all to use the bridge network (network_mode: bridge). Then if you inspect the bridge network, you can see the bridge network ip's of them all and use that for Heimdall. The Pi-Hole is an exception though since it requires a different network.
Why not? You can just connect the PiHole container to both networks and inter-container communication should work as usual. I haven’t tried this with PiHole specifically but I’ve done it with other services in the past
Maybe I just don't know how... Do you have a compose script you could share?
Not for PiHole but I was testing this recently with traefik. This has a bunch of traefik stuff in there (I’m on mobile so it’s too hard to edit it) but hopefully you see how the networks work

This is great, thank you!
