homer-theme VS cadvisor

Homer + https://github.com/walkxhub/homer-theme

Tried various dashboards in the past like Organizr (too crowded, too much going on, just too much overall), Flame (really nice, but I want categories), I ended up with Homer. Simple, categories and you can use CSS easily to adjust the looks (https://github.com/walkxhub/homer-theme, thanks /u/walkxhosted for the CSS I could use as a starting point).

Not mine, but the theme I'm using: https://github.com/walkxcode/homer-theme/blob/main/assets/config.yml

I just used thishttps://github.com/WalkxCode/Homer-Theme to achieve my setup, I just edited some things in the config file, and add my own wallpaper

Thanks to u/LoV432 for pointing this bug out, and giving me a fix! #6

cAdvisor

https://github.com/google/cadvisor exports Prometheus metrics, but also offers a simple web-ui for container metrics.

For CPU and memory metrics, you can use cAdvisor to collect container level data.

Perhaps https://github.com/google/cadvisor + prometheus (or influx or whatever else) + grafana?

We could have used a much more focussed tool like Prometheus or Cadvisor to gather system stats, but that is not the main objective of this article.

Result: Interestingly, the GitHub Issue that talks about cAdvisor and Docker Desktop for Mac for running cAdvisor is still open and not fixed.

If you're running things under systemd, you can enable process accounting and use cAdvisor.
