Port Light - A web dashboard shows your port usage as a traffic-light.

by•
A web dashboard that shows your server's port usage as a traffic-light grid. Built for homelabbers who run many Docker Compose stacks and keep forgetting which port is taken. - StepaniaH/port-light

This tool solves a pain point I have when deploying new Docker services. It displays the current port usage in your system concisely and clearly, and shows the nearest available options when you search for a port to use. Currently, it resides on my Home Server and is very helpful to me. I also hope it can help others. Welcome to use it and submit issues.

The traffic-light grid idea is genuinely clever, turning a boring port list into something you can scan at a glance. Nice touch for homelab folks juggling dozens of compose stacks.

 Thanks for your support, hope it can be helpful for you.

Love the simplicity of this, exactly what I needed for my unraid box. One thing that would make it even better: clicking a port could copy it to clipboard and show which compose stack claimed it, since sometimes I forget whether 8080 is nginx-proxy or something else entirely.

 Thanks for your love. It already has this feature: clicking on a port displays relevant detailed information. And click to copy is a good suggestion, I will add this feature as soon as possible.

Honestly this looks super handy for my homelab mess. One thing that would make it even better is letting me click a port and see which docker container or compose stack is actually using it, kind of a quick drill down instead of just seeing the traffic light grid.
