Step-by-step guide to deploying Proxmox Datacenter Manager 1.1 for centralized multi-cluster management. Covers automated installation workflows, Ceph monitoring, subscription key management, world map visualization, and upgrade procedures.
Collect, analyze, and alert on Docker container logs with Grafana Loki and Grafana Alloy. A complete centralized logging stack for your homelab with real Compose configs and dashboards.
A practical guide to deploying a full Prometheus and Grafana monitoring stack in your homelab with Docker Compose — collect CPU, RAM, disk, network, and Docker container metrics from every host, visualize with pre-built dashboards, and get alerts when things go wrong.
Docker marks unhealthy containers but does not restart them. Build a self-healing homelab with docker-autoheal, systemd watchdog services, custom health scripts, and Uptime Kuma webhooks — no Kubernetes needed.
Deploy a production-grade Prometheus Grafana monitoring stack with Docker Compose — including Node Exporter, cAdvisor, and Alertmanager for complete homelab observability.
Deploy a complete homelab observability stack with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Grafana Alloy, and Alertmanager using Docker Compose. Includes pre-configured dashboards, alert rules, and log aggregation for Docker hosts.
Configure Docker logging drivers, set up log rotation limits, and deploy a centralized log pipeline with Loki and Grafana Alloy. Practical configurations to prevent disk-full disasters and enable real-time container observability in your homelab.
Grafana Alloy is the official Promtail replacement with EOL in March 2026. This guide covers a complete Docker logging stack with Alloy, Loki, and Grafana — including Alloy config syntax, Docker auto-discovery, host log collection, and the migration path from Promtail.
Every homelab needs observability. Not because you’re running a production SLA — because you can’t fix what you can’t see. Running out of disk on the ZFS pool at 3 AM, a Docker container silently OOM-killed, or the Frigate NVR eating 100% CPU for hours — these are the things you catch with a monitoring stack, not by noticing the UI feels sluggish. This post covers a full Prometheus + Grafana + Loki stack deployed on Docker in a Proxmox LXC, with metrics from the host, Docker containers, and system logs collected into one dashboard. ...
