dockprom VS podman

This guide before was just just kinda streamlined version of of the great stefanprodan/dockprom.

Dockprom is a solid starting point. It gives the essentials and you can tweak it to your liking. For example I forgo Alertmanager (for now) but have added more exporters, data sources, etc.

For tracking stats - Grafana, paired with appropriate backends. Dockprom is a nice starting point as it comes with most things preconfigured. You just need to tweak them accordingly.

i used Dockprom (https://github.com/stefanprodan/dockprom) at one point, it looks and works well however I found the CPU usage at the time higher than it should be. Your CPU would handle it easily, but it was still causing 10% CPU usage which i didn't like. I don't think this is a widespread common issue it's a very popular project but just a heads up to keep an eye on CPU if you decide to test it out.

Take a look at https://github.com/stefanprodan/dockprom as a way to work with Docker, docker compose, grafana, prometheus and more.

https://github.com/stefanprodan/dockprom Read the YML and remove what you aren’t using.

If you run plex in a docker container I highly recommend this grafana dashboard setup: https://github.com/stefanprodan/dockprom

Something like dockerprom can do that for you :) https://github.com/stefanprodan/dockprom

Podman

Even though we will focus on Docker for this article, I wanted to mention that there are more container creation and management tools such as Podman, Rkt, and so on.

By using containerization, the application will always have the same configuration that is used in the development environment and production environment. There is no more "It works on my machine". Some examples of containerization technologies are Docker and Podman.

Podman Documentation. Podman is a daemonless container engine for developing, managing, and running OCI Containers on your Linux System.

AFAIK podman either already supports pods in quadlet container files, or will in the near future. https://github.com/containers/podman/pull/20762

Podman as a devcontainers engine doesn't currently work if you use devcontainer features [1] or (and this sounds like you're issue) if you use WSL2.

I haven't submitted the WSL2 issue to the Podman team yet. If you get to it before I do, can you like it here?

You can also use their Oracle Linux Docker images with the database preinstalled using either Podman or Docker. Just make absolutely sure you are downloading something you are licensed to use, because it seems really easy to accidentally infringe copyright via this method.

It's an open source project. https://github.com/containers/podman and https://podman.io - go there, get engaged, see what's going on and most important become part of the community and contribute!
