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.

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
Thank you for this video, very informative.
i've done this all in python
dang this is pretty hefty
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.
Awesome man!
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.
I wrote tutorial on my website about this solution a long time ago. We use Grafana at work but not only. For Zabbix I have pre-made templates for Fujitsu Primery and Eternus servers, so easier way. Anyway, yes it is doable in Grafana, but time consuming. Pre-made templates for Grafana are nice. What I like is Grafana Tempo that allows you to monitor behavior of the application running in Kubernetes cluster.
Bros, i really appreciate the articles accompanying your flicks.
Amazing, thank you!
Have you tried netdata? All these metrics out of the box
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. 🙂
Nice video
what is the main difference between using a folder on the PC and using a Volume?
THANK YOU!!! This video will really help me get started.
