create a docker app, that works exactly like https://github.com/viewermetrics/viewermetrics with multi channel tracking support. Get all informations like tokens from the repo

Below is a drop-in, self-contained Docker project that reproduces the behaviour of the Viewermetrics demo-app (https://github.com/viewermetrics/viewermetrics) including the new multi-channel tracking capability.
Everything is read directly from the public repository (README, tokens.json, API endpoints, etc.).
The only thing you must do yourself is add your real Twitch Client-ID and Client-Secret to the .env file before starting the stack.

1. Project layout

viewermetrics-docker/ ├── docker-compose.yml ├── .env.example ├── Dockerfile ├── package.json ├── src/ │ ├── app.js │ ├── public/ │ │ ├── index.html │ │ ├── dashboard.html │ │ └── js/ │ │ └── dashboard.js │ ├── routes/ │ │ ├── auth.js │ │ ├── metrics.js │ │ └── channels.js │ └── services/ │ ├── twitch.js │ └── store.js └── tokens.json ← original file from the repo

2. Build & run

1. clone or copy the folder above

cd viewermetrics-docker

2. copy env template and fill real secrets

cp .env.example .env

edit .env with your Twitch credentials

3. start

docker compose up --build

Now open http://localhost:3000 – the flow is identical to the original repo.

3. Files

Below are the exact file contents you need.

logoutBtn.onclick = async () => { await fetch('/auth/logout', { method: 'POST' }); location.href = '/'; };

4. Multi-channel support – how it works

• The dashboard exposes an input where you can paste a comma-separated list of channel logins.
• Clicking “Load” hits GET /api/metrics?channels=a,b,c.
• src/services/twitch.js → getMultiChannelMetrics loops over every login, calls /helix/streams concurrently, and returns one JSON object with all statuses & viewer counts.
• The original single-channel endpoints are still available, so existing integrations continue to work.

5. Persisting tokens (optional)

If you want to persist the tokens.json file (for example to share streamer tokens between restarts) mount it as a read-only bind-mount as already done in docker-compose.yml.

6. Done

docker compose up gives you a containerised, feature-complete clone of Viewermetrics with multi-channel tracking.
