alex 2e156fc534 fix: inject backend network into compose file instead of docker network connect
The post-creation 'docker network connect' was failing silently for
unknown reasons (race condition, container state, or Docker internals).

Instead of fighting with this, we now inject the backend network directly
into the compose file before 'docker compose up'. Docker Compose then
attaches the container to the network atomically during creation.

- apps/api/src/api/tool_instances.py: new _ensure_backend_network_in_compose()
  adds 'networks: [backend_name]' to the service and declares the network
  as external at the top level
- apps/api/src/api/tool_instances.py: call _ensure_backend_network_in_compose()
  in both start_instance and restart_instance, right after
  _ensure_container_name_in_compose()
- apps/api/src/api/tool_instances.py: removed connect_container_to_network
  import and call entirely
- apps/api/src/api/tool_instances.py: import get_backend_network_name from
  docker module for use in the new helper

Headquarter

A self-hosted platform for managing projects, git repositories, and development tools with OAuth2 authentication.

Overview

Headquarter provides a centralized workspace for development teams to:

  • Manage projects and their associated git repositories
  • Browse repository files and view git history
  • Spawn development tools (VS Code Server, Jupyter Notebook, etc.)
  • Manage SSH keys and user preferences

  • View repository history and commit details

Repository Workspace

  • Browse files and directories
  • View file contents with syntax highlighting
  • Switch between branches
  • Quick file editing with automatic commits

Git History Visualization

  • View commit history with branch graph
  • See commit details, statistics, and diffs
