Doplarr App and URL vs IP Address
I'm using Doplarr paired with Overseerr for requesting content via Discord. Overseerr works great with Homarr, no issues there, but Doplarr not so much. Doplarr doesnt have a gui and only responds to direct IP pings, not with a URL. Homarr seems to require a URL, so I cannot have a visual up/down indicator on the app.
Is there another way around this problem that I am missing? Thoughts or suggestions welcome.

I don’t think so unless doplarr has something that can respond to http requests. Homarr doesn’t do ping‘s but it actually does an http request to check if the app is up or down

That's because http and https automatically sets the port you are trying to communicate on. You should be able to keep the http but simply add the port "http://ip:port".
Seems Doplarr isnt that simple to work with. It doesnt like http at all...

Personally I'm not a fan of the app, but it works and the previous app I used Requestrr is depreciated
First off, you can’t ping specific ports, I‘m pretty sure it’s either hostname or IP, but no protocol or anything
Secondly, What are you even trying to do? Doplarr doesn’t have an http server you can send requests to does it? So homarr wont be able to do much with it because the ping check sends http requests
If you want to monitor up/down states of containers there is probably other solutions for that out there, like uptime-Kuma
I know you cannot ping specific ports, I was showing the issue of Homarr requiring a full URL vs just an IP address for the apps, and curious if there was another way. I only want to incorporate up/down status alongside the other arr apps without needing another app to do it. Since Homarr labels it as ping was hoping it would do that.

Ah, makes sense then, maybe that can be a feature for the future. I did see today that the developer of Requestrr has started a new fork labeled requestrr-v2 so maybe that will come to fruition and I will move to it as it has an http interface
Thanks for the help
