I have a Raspberry Pi running Docker and a number of containers. I plan on adding another Pi soon. Curious what folks are using for a dashboard to monitor performance of all your hosts and containers. I was thinking of deploying Grafana for this but am curious what others use.

    Well, I run my containers in kubernetes.

    And, it more or less includes full support for prometheus/grafana/alertmanager/etc.

    So- I use that.

      I have questions about this. I’ll be getting another Pi or two and was considering putting k8s on them. Would I be able to set them up with kubernetes and then import my existing Docker containers from my current Pi to them?

        Yup. You can do that.

        Although- you wouldn’t “import” your existing containers. but, you can…

        1. Create manifests for your containers (Kubernetes runs the exact same docker containers). or, find helm charts for your containers.
        2. Import the storage from docker into your new PV/PVCs.

        I would, suggest learning kubernetes first though. Learning curve can be rather steep.

        Also, rancher + k3s would work perfect for your Pis.

    Munin. It’s highly portable and works with many operating systems.
