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