BEST Home Server Monitoring Setup! (Linux, Proxmox, Unraid, and more)

It can actually be pretty simple to get a self-hosted monitoring system set up for your home lab. The idea is to collect and visualize key data about your machines, such as CPU, RAM, and disk capacity is being used over time.

THANK YOU!!! This video will really help me get started.

[@darthkielbasa]

Bros, i really appreciate the articles accompanying your flicks.

[@aflawrence]

Thanks for sharing this tutorial! Absolutely awesome! Can't wait to implement this across my home lab stack.

[@ghangj]

Holy smokes what are the odds that I refresh my page to look for new projects to take on and you happen to upload this gem. Thanks for the video amazing explanations.

[@BrianThomas]

Gotta love the Google algorithms bro. They're spot on sometimes.

[@normang.827]

Thank you for this video, very informative.

[@saffanalvy]

Awesome man!

[@hkitservices]

Nice video what is the main difference between using a folder on the PC and using a Volume?

[@diegofelipe2119]

Amazing, thank you!

[@comosaycomosah]

dang this is pretty hefty

[@gaidin]

Thanks for the video - really keen to dive further into this style of project :) Has your githib repo moved, or been cleaned up recently? I can only find the repo for your arr stack and frigate in there now.

I subscribed you to follow up on the home media server you have, was looking foward to it but its just taking way too long for you to make a video on that. I'd love if you could make a video on that topic or maybe a series or a long tutorial video anything

[@TechHut]

I'm working on the docker compose stack right now, sorry for the delay.

[@J.erem.y]

I'm going to make an observation here about a lot of the self hosted videos coming out from content creators so please don't take offense. The tools you are showing are becoming things that need a server themselves to monitor the other servers. While I run all this stuff because I have the hardware to do so, running a full stack monitoring suite this large is kind of overkill, and consumes A LOT of resources. It just seems the "self-hosted" space is bloating horribly at this point.

[@comosaycomosah]

gotta agree with most of this...the trend is overkill

[@espressomatic]

It looks like you're trying to provide a good amount of info to be applicable to people running all manner of homelab servers. For the beginner, this is of course much easier to deploy directly on an Unraid machine with its built-in Docker support. Everything from initial OS install to formatting disks, to container spin-up and configuration. I'd venture to say even spinning up Portainer on Unraid and then using that to manage the other containers may still be faster - and still easier. :)

[@jgarfield]

Why not influxdb 3?

[@ZKWhips]

I'm asked to create our own one for my company without using of any of these external tools pls someone guide me 🙏

[@pirespro]

Have you tried netdata? All these metrics out of the box

[@sysadmin-info]

I use netdata for my Raspberry Pis K3s cluster, but Grafana or Zabbix are configurable, when netdata is rather a solution out of the box.

[@zeveroarerules]

Why not just use netdata community?

[@Hex-Mas]

i've done this all in python

[@MarkConstable]

Damn, not interested in using docker... pass!
