Both apps were barred from multiple instances by the same rule: a
service or container name with no <app> prefix cannot be made unique per
instance, so a second copy would fight the first for it.
Prometheus is now fully unblocked. node-exporter and cadvisor became
prometheus-node-exporter and prometheus-cadvisor — service key,
container_name and SERVICE_TAG default together — and prometheus.yml's
scrape targets follow them. The image references (prom/node-exporter,
gcr.io/cadvisor/cadvisor) and the job_name labels are deliberately
untouched: the first are upstream coordinates, the second are labels
dashboards and alert rules key off, and renaming either would break
something to fix nothing.
Stoat's sixteen services are now all stoat-prefixed. Its container_names
already were, so only the service keys and their depends_on references
moved. The subtlety is DNS: compose registers the service name as a
network alias, so renaming a key silently retires the name anything
else resolves it by — Revolt.toml reaches the broker as "rabbit", the
Caddyfile proxies to api, events, autumn, january and gifbox, and the
bucket job talks to http://minio:9000. Ten services already carried an
explicit alias that survives the rename; the six that did not
(database, redis, rabbit, createbuckets, crond, pushd) have been given
one holding their old short name. Every name that resolved before still
resolves. Verified by parsing the result: 16 services, every one keeping
its short alias, and no dangling depends_on in either app.
Stoat stays non-instanceable, but for one narrower reason now, recorded
in its config: LiveKit advertises its own tcp_port 7881 and UDP range
50000-50100 to clients from livekit.yml, so those cannot be randomised
per instance without generating that file per instance and allocating a
range for each.
Stoat's port descriptors name their parent service, so they follow the
rename too: caddy -> stoat-caddy, livekit -> stoat-livekit.
