Dockerized netdata to show container names instead of IDs on QNAP · Issue #5823 · netdata/netdata

Hi,

I'm running netdata as a container in a QNAP environment and would like to monitor other containers with the name as the label instead of the ID.

I went throughout other similar issues but all was referring to missing docker.sock mount or PGID

This is the docker-compose used:

version: '3'
services:
  netdata:
    image: netdata/netdata
    hostname: XXX
    ports:
      - 19999:19999
    cap_add:
      - SYS_PTRACE
    security_opt:
      - apparmor:unconfined
    volumes:
      - /proc:/host/proc:ro
      - /sys:/host/sys:ro
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
    environment:
      - PGID=0

On the host there isn't a docker group, so I set the PGID to the group ID of the user that runs dockerd (0)
The docker.sock is correctly mounted in the container:

srw-rw---- 1 root root 0 Apr 1 08:08 docker.sock

And this is from the host:

srw-rw---- 1 admin administrators 0 2019-04-01 10:08 docker.sock

with ID (from host):

srw-rw---- 1 0 0 0 2019-04-01 10:08 docker.sock

this is the netdata IDs:

uid=201(netdata) gid=201(netdata) groups=30(readproc),70(postgres),80(cdrw),200(nofiles),201(netdata),300(abuild)

Seems still a permission issue:

Moreover I see this error when netdata starts, dunno if correlated or expected:

I'm using the official netdata:latest docker image:

Your netdata version: v1.14.0-rc0-39-g0d4da488

Could the groupID of 0 making trouble since in the container the same ID is used for the root group?
Can you help me to fix this?
Thanks and regards,
