Docker Monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana in Homelab
Deploy Prometheus, Grafana, cAdvisor, and node_exporter via Docker Compose for full homelab monitoring. Real configs for metrics collection, dashboards, and alerting.
Deploy Prometheus, Grafana, cAdvisor, and node_exporter via Docker Compose for full homelab monitoring. Real configs for metrics collection, dashboards, and alerting.
Deploy Prometheus SNMP Exporter with Docker Compose to collect bandwidth, CPU, memory, and interface metrics from MikroTik routers and network devices. Configure SNMP v2c/v3, generate the exporter config, and visualize everything in Grafana.
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.
Deploy a production-grade Prometheus Grafana monitoring stack with Docker Compose — including Node Exporter, cAdvisor, and Alertmanager for complete homelab observability.
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. ...
