Want to monitor system usage on my server - Grafana my best option? (lemmy.ml)

The number of containers I'm running on my server keeps increasing, and I want to make sure I'm not pushing it beyond its capabilities. I would like a simple interface accessible on my home network (that does not make any fishy connections out) that shows me CPU and RAM-usage, storage status of my hard drives, and network usage. It should be FOSS, and I want to run it as a Docker container.

Is Grafana the way to go, or are there other options I should consider?

Munin feels a little old and crusty, but just works. Over 20 years old now.

I would personally use grafana, but zabbix is also a good choice.

Thanks for your input!

Glances could be a good option, it's pretty bare bones, but it covers the basics and serves my needs well enough

The last time I've used glances - to be fair, some years ago - it caused the main CPU usage on my Raspberry Pi 3. However, looks like it's been fixed recently.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check that out in more detail!

Cockpit is a simpler choice for that.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out. Simple sounds good for mye use case.

Possibly a bit overkill, but I’m running Zabbix in 3 containers (Core, WebUI, database). Using its agent installed on all my machines, I can monitor basically anything. Of course, you can set limits, alerts, draw graphs, etc.

That looks cool, but as you said maybe a little overkill, hehe. I'll still check it out in more detail, in any case good for later!
