Right now, I'm trying to migrate from Pterodactyl and I couldn't see anything that you can host your containers in the same machine as the monitor UI - not unless I'm missing something.

I think it would be a good suggestion as if there was built-in templates for servers (like your own) or documentating how too for people like me, haha.

Hi, the difference here is that Monitor Core does not connect to your system directly, it must go through a periphery agent. See https://docs.monitor.mogh.tech/docs/intro#architecture-and-components.

So in addition to running the Core docker container, also install the periphery agent, and then you can add your localhost server. See https://docs.monitor.mogh.tech/docs/connecting-servers.

Let me know if anything is still unclear, or you have any ideas to improve the documentation.

I think the documentation on how to setup connecting servers, need to be more clear.

For me, I have the periphery agent and it's running, but what do I put as my servers in the server tab?

After some digging, I found it out http://ip-here:8120, could use something in the documentation saying that.

I improved the server setup with more placeholders to guide the user. Sorry it wasn't so clear. I do have it in the docs, the second page of "connecting servers". https://docs.monitor.mogh.tech/docs/connecting-servers/add-server

Thank you, so far I love it! I will have to open up another issue for GitHub tokens being in the dashboard settings instead of that, and maybe GitHub Actions or something.

@LawMixer I will also include git / registry provider management in the UI in the next release. It will still support config file definition for those who prefer to do it that way. This way, you shouldn't even have to worry about any config file.
