Hi, I have a bunch of Raspberry Pies hosting all kinds of stuff and I want to have a monitoring solution for all of that. What would be your recommendations?

My goal is to be able to have an overview of CPU load, network load, CPU temp and to see what’s going on inside docker containers as I have everything dockerized. I’d like the solution to be open source. I want the solution to be web browser accessible and have nice load graphs with history. I don’t want to spend too much time setting it up.

All my Pies are running RaspberryOS, which is Debian based.

    As someone who used Checkmk Raw (the free edition) and stopped because it’s an absolute bastard to set up, I’m going to recommend Zabbix.

    I feel the same way about Zabbix. I’m not going to pretend that CheckMk is super intuitive but I guess I got over the hump because I don’t find it difficult to setup, use, or manage.

    The reality is for a homelab setup, probably something like uptime kuma would fit the bill for most people. I wanted something like Zabbix or CheckMk for all the detailed stats that Op is looking for. The longer I use it the more I realize I don’t need them 99% of the time and I should probably give something like uptime kuma a try myself.
