Portainer Integration
Portainer is a self-hosted container management platform for Docker and Kubernetes. JellyWatch integrates with the Portainer API to let you monitor and control your containers without opening a browser.
Features
- Container list — browse all containers across your endpoints with status, image, and resource usage.
- Container actions — start, stop, and restart containers directly from JellyWatch.
- Container stats — view real-time CPU %, memory usage/limit, and network I/O per container.
- Container logs — fetch the last 100 lines of logs for any container.
- Stacks — browse all Docker Compose stacks managed by Portainer.
- Endpoints — switch between multiple Docker environments (local, remote, edge agents).
- Container filter — filter by All / Running / Stopped.
Container Card Details
Expand any container to see:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| CPU % | Current CPU usage percentage |
| Memory | Used / limit in MB and percentage |
| Net RX | Total received network traffic in MB |
| Net TX | Total transmitted network traffic in MB |
| Logs | Last 100 lines of container stdout/stderr |
Full Setup
Open the Portainer web UI Navigate to
http://your-server-ip:9000(orhttps://your-server-ip:9443for TLS) in a browser. Log in with your Portainer admin account.Add Portainer to JellyWatch In JellyWatch go to Services → Add Service. Select type Portainer. Enter:
- Name: e.g. "Home Portainer"
- URL:
http://your-server-ip:9000(usehttps://your-server-ip:9443for TLS) - Username: your Portainer username
- Password: your Portainer password Tap Test Connection → should say "Connected". Save.
Done! Portainer is now connected to JellyWatch/EmbyWatch!
Notes
- JellyWatch authenticates to Portainer using your username and password — no API token is required. A JWT is obtained automatically and cached for the session.
- Works with Portainer CE and BE (v2.x+)
- Default HTTP port is
9000, default HTTPS port is9443 - For remote access, use a VPN or reverse proxy — never expose Portainer publicly without authentication
