Consider hiding containers that are created by the weave & scope scripts from Scope

[tomwilkie]

Using the works.weave.role=system hack.

We do this already...

[tomwilkie]

I don't think we do it in weave: https://github.com/weaveworks/weave/blob/master/weave#L101

[tomwilkie]

Also we missed one: https://github.com/weaveworks/scope/blob/master/scope#L112

[tomwilkie]

Ah but for weave the container image should be labeled...

[paulbellamy]

https://github.com/weaveworks/weave/blob/master/prog/weaveexec/Dockerfile#L4
and
https://github.com/weaveworks/scope/blob/master/docker/Dockerfile#L3

[tomwilkie]

I think this might be a real bug somewhere, as I'm definitely seeing weaveexec containers appearing briefly in scope when I start containers.

[tomwilkie]

Okay so it turns out the labels in the Dockerfiles don't translate to labels on the container, but on the images.

[paulbellamy]

Then how do the weave and scope containers ever get hidden?

[tomwilkie]

we also filter on container name (see https://github.com/weaveworks/scope/blob/master/render/filters.go#L174)
