No applications when dashboard running inside Docker-compose

Ask your question here

I'm setting up a local environment with docker-compose.yaml

dashboard:
  image: "daprio/dashboard:0.8.0"
  container_name: dapr_dashboard
  init: true
  network_mode: "host"
  command: [ "-port", "8080"]

when run dapr with docker

docker-compose.yaml

ems-dapr:
  image: "daprio/dapr:1.3.1"
  container_name: ems_dapr
  init: true
  command: ["./daprd",
   "--app-id", "ems",
   "--log-level","debug",
   "--app-port", "6060",
   "--dapr-http-port","3000",
   "--metrics-port","49090",
   "--dapr-grpc-port", "40000",
   "--config","/dapr/config.yaml"]
  volumes:
      - "/root/.dapr:/dapr"
  depends_on:
    - emsp-backend
  network_mode: "host"

The configuration itself works fine, dashboard doesn't recognize dapr sidecar containers

i read the code ,found dashboard can't get applications when running in standalone with docker

// getStandaloneInstances returns the Dapr instances running in the standalone environment

import (
    ......
    "github.com/dapr/cli/pkg/standalone"
        ......
)
......
func (i *instances) getStandaloneInstances(scope string) []Instance {
    list := []Instance{}
    output, err := standalone.List()

......

standalone.List() import from dapr cli "github.com/dapr/cli/pkg/standalone"

dapr cli project file: /pkg/standalone/list.go
when list all dapr applications
frist: filter sidecar process

 // Populates the map if all data is available for the sidecar.
for _, proc := range processes {
	executable := strings.ToLower(proc.Executable())
	if (executable == "daprd") || (executable == "daprd.exe") {
		procDetails, err := process.NewProcess(int32(proc.Pid()))
		if err != nil {
			continue
		}

then: filter cli process

   // The master list comes from cli processes, even if sidecar is not up.
for _, proc := range processes {
	executable := strings.ToLower(proc.Executable())
	if (executable == "dapr") || (executable == "dapr.exe") {
		pID := proc.Pid()

can't find dapr process

This is a missing feature. It was never designed to run inside a container for local mode, only K8s. I can take a PR that enabled container mode for the Dashboard.
