  • Monitoring and visibility of rootless containers running by different users on single server
    2 projects | /r/podman | 26 Jun 2022
    Hey, I have homelab NUC server where I run different services as rootless podman pods and containers running by dedicated users, eg. nextcloud pod running by nextcloud user, gitea by gitea, znc by znc and more. Next step was trying to monitor these services. First trey was using cockpit-podman feature, but in UI I see only containers of my user and rootfull which both was empty. I cannot switch to another user because the're not capable for login to cockpit. Now I'm testing prometheus and podman-exporter which seems ok, but again I see containers only if I run prometheus-podman-exporter service as user who run another podman container (e.g. as nextcloud user). Of course I can run this service parallel as dedicated user with another port and add them as target to prometheus scrape config but from obvious reason I want to avoid that. Is it more gentle way to monitor my pods? I know that those namespaces are one of the main feature of Podman but I don't consider this before my deploys :)

    Tested podman to replace docker (the cli) on a mac yesterday Most of it works fine. They have an easy way to setup a vm now with `podman machine`: https://podman.io/getting-started/installation#macos

    If you want the management GUI, install cockpit: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-podman

    Try podman, you'll be impressed.
