[Feature Request] Label changes to significantly reduce repetition

[nomandera]

Description

I propose that in a fashion similar to "You do not need to specify the server or container values, as they will be automatically inferred" that we also infer name and icon when the labels are empty.

If we were to additionally introduce the concept of a domain template we could extend this to also infer href from the container name. i.e. set a global domain template of https://${href}.example.org

These two changes would remove 60% of all my labels e.g.

From

            - "homepage.group=Media"
            - "homepage.name=emby"
            - "homepage.icon=emby"
            - "homepage.href=https://emby.example.org"
            - "homepage.description=Media streaming"

To

            - "homepage.group=Media"
            - "homepage.description=Media streaming"

Case sensitivity (e.g. Emby vs. emby) and the use - separator (e.g. blue iris vs. blueiris vs blue-iris) may also need looked at as part of the enhancement.

I like this idea and I'm not sure if this helps, but I'd imagine it could work similar to how https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-swag has default config files for known/popular apps. Most labels could be implied but overridden if you choose.

Preferably, the following would have default values:

• homepage.name
• homepage.icon
• homepage.widget.type
• homepage.widget.url

Please just tag me if any more clarification is needed.

I still think the idea has merit as it would be simpler for users to implement, reduce compose labels significantly and given the actual functionality already exists for other labels has precedent.

Supporting both exact icon name and the mdi variant as a fallback would be a nice enhancement.

Is there actually no interest in this or did it just suffer from too many discussions pushing it away from the first page resulting in no eyes on?

It feels like this change fits in with how other things are already configured in Homepage.
