Describe the problem

On my system, the system-info widget does not properly show data and shows an error message of "An error occurred, see the logs for more info. Error generating backend data".

However, it is correctly pulling at least some data (the uname kernel version, uptime, and load average visible in the screenshot are correct, but the hostname is wrong). Clicking retry doesn't make the error go away.

Here is the relevant config snippet:

  - name: System Info
    widgets:
      - type: system-info

I am launching dashy from compose but passing no options other than the port mapping and mapping in the config file and item-icons directory as volumes.

[As a total aside, while looking in the logs, I did see that every page load fires off API requests to everything with widgets, even if the widget isn't currently visible because the section it is in is collapsed. Is there an option to lazy-load widgets in this case I missed in the docs? Just want to be a good steward of the relevant APIs.]

Additional info

The JS console shows:
Error generating backend data This is likely not an issue with Dashy, but rather your configuration. If you think it is a bug, please open a ticket on GitHub: https://git.io/JukXk

Nothing unusual appears in the container logs or build log.
