Hi! i have a mixed set of containers (a few, not too many) and bare-metal services (quite a few) and i would like to monitor them.

I am using good old "monit" that monitors my network interfaces, filesystems status and traditional services (via pid files). It's not pretty, but get the work done. It seems i cannot find a way to have it also monitor my containers. Consider that i use podman and have a strict one service, one user policy (all containers are rootless).

I also run "netdata" but i find it overwhelming, too much data, too much graphics, just too much for my needs.

I need something that:

  • let me monitor service status
  • let me monitor containers status
  • let me restart services or containers (not mandatory, but preferred)
  • has a nice web GUI
  • the web gui is also mobile friendly (not mandatory, but appreciated)
  • Can print some history data (not manatory, but interesting)
  • Can monitor CPU usage (mandatory)
  • Can monitor filesystem usage (mandatory)

I don't care for authentication features, since it will be behind a reverse proxy with HTTPS and proxy authentication already.

I am not looking for a fancy and comples dashboard, but for something i can host on a secondary page that i open if/when i want to check stuff. Also, if the tool can be scripted or accessed via an API could be useful, so i would write some extractors to print something in a summary page in my own dashboard.

I like Homarr because it is Drag and Drop to edit the Page. I think with Homepage i would have to edit the config file.
