Monitoring Proxmox system the easy way

We are going to be using docker and docker compose to complete this setup to work in monitoring your systems.

Here is the compose file you will need:

services:
  prometheus:
    image: prom/prometheus
    container_name: prometheus
    command:
      - '--config.file=/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml'
    ports:
      - 9090:9090
    restart: unless-stopped
    extra_hosts:
      - "dockersrv002:host-gateway"
    volumes:
      - ./prometheus:/etc/prometheus
      - prom_data:/prometheus
  grafana:
    image: grafana/grafana
    container_name: grafana
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./grafana:/etc/grafana/provisioning/datasources
      - grafana_data:/var/lib/grafana
  influxdb:
    image: influxdb:2.7.6-alpine
    container_name: influxdb2
    ports:
      - 8086:8086
    extra_hosts:
      - "dockersrv002:host-gateway"
    volumes:
      - influxdb2_data:/var/lib/influxdb2
      - ./influxdb2/config:/etc/influxdb2
      - ./influxdb2/scripts:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
volumes:
  prom_data:
  grafana_data:
  influxdb2_data:
