I'm not sure if anyone else is using the glances widget app, I can get the cpu and memory to display but I can't get the disk to show up

I am running glances docker in one machine:

Based on the information provided and the documentation for the Glances widget, it seems that you have the basic configuration set up correctly for monitoring CPU, memory, and disk. However, there are a few things we can check and try to resolve the issue with the disk not showing up:

1. Ensure Glances is Running in Web Server Mode: According to the documentation, Glances needs to be running in "web server" mode to enable the API. The Docker configuration you provided includes the -w option in the GLANCES_OPT environment variable, which should start Glances in web server mode. Make sure that the Glances service is running properly in this mode.

2. Check Glances Version: Ensure that you are running a compatible version of Glances with the homepage version you are using. The homepage documentation mentions updates in v0.4.18, v0.6.11, and v0.6.21. You mentioned that your homepage version is 8.10, which is not referenced in the provided documentation. Please verify that this version is correct and compatible.

3. Verify Disk Configuration: The disk configuration should point to the mount point of the disk as seen by Glances. You have specified disk: / which should monitor the root filesystem. If you want to monitor multiple disks or a specific disk, make sure to specify the correct mount points.

4. Check Access to the Disk: The documentation states that any disk you wish to access must be mounted to your container as a volume. Ensure that the Glances container has the necessary permissions and access to read the disk information.

5. Review Glances API and Logs: Check the Glances API directly to see if disk information is available. You can do this by accessing http://192.168.1.34:61208/api/3/fs in your browser or using a tool like curl. Also, review the logs of the Glances container to see if there are any errors related to disk monitoring.

6. Browser and Homepage Logs: Although you mentioned there are no browser logs, it might be helpful to check the browser's developer console for any errors when loading the homepage. Similarly, check the homepage container logs for any errors.

If after checking these points the issue persists, you may want to reach out to the homepage community or check if there are any open issues related to disk monitoring in the Glances widget on the homepage's GitHub repository.

adding this to my docker yml:

• /:/glances/root

changing my homepage widget to:
disk: /glances/root

fixed it!
