Web panel

Mendil also has a web panel on port 8080: what’s playing, the queue, volume and loop, a box to request songs and search YouTube, and the live log. It works on phones too.

There are two ways to sign in:

With TeamSpeak. Type your TeamSpeak nickname while you’re on the server, and Mendil sends you a one-time code in a private message. The panel then knows who you are and gives you the same role as in chat: listeners see the queue and request songs, admins get every control. Songs you request show your name.
With the panel password. Always an admin. Use it when Mendil isn’t connected to TeamSpeak.

To open it, publish the port in docker-compose.yml:

    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:8080:8080"

Then open http://localhost:8080 on the machine that runs Mendil. The panel password is in the log on first start (docker compose logs mendil | grep password), or choose one with PANEL_PASSWORD.

On a server, keep the 127.0.0.1: part and reach the panel through an SSH tunnel (ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 you@server, then open http://localhost:8080), or put it behind a reverse proxy with HTTPS. Don’t publish it to the internet over plain HTTP: the password would travel unencrypted. PANEL_PORT=0 turns the panel off.
