Description

Currently, in the web gui, under settings/admin/serverinfo, all disks and all partitions of the host os are displayed, including mountpoints like:

  • tmpfs
  • /boot/efi
  • other disks

Additionally, all network interfaces are displayed as well, including all docker networks (and there are a lot of them)

My server hosts various services and thus has many partitions and networks, some of them are from docker.
My admin page is currently horribly cluttered by all these partitions and network interfaces. A clear, precise overview is not possible.

I would really like the option to hide all irrelevant information so that the admin page only shows the storages that are used by nextcloud, in my case, that would be a single partition I created for nextcloud and the main network interface.

Research direction

Start at the web GUI for settings/admin/serverinfo and trace how disks, partitions, and network interfaces are collected and rendered. Determine how an administrator should select or hide entries, including Docker networks and mountpoints such as tmpfs and /boot/efi. Done means the page can show only the relevant storage and network information without the current clutter.
