Want to monitor system usage on my server - Grafana my best option? (lemmy.ml)

The number of containers I'm running on my server keeps increasing, and I want to make sure I'm not pushing it beyond its capabilities. I would like a simple interface accessible on my home network (that does not make any fishy connections out) that shows me CPU and RAM-usage, storage status of my hard drives, and network usage. It should be FOSS, and I want to run it as a Docker container.

Is Grafana the way to go, or are there other options I should consider?

I have Netdata running in a container, which has a useful all-in-one-pane view, and it does a good job of auto detecting other containers and the host OS. Its essentially zero config.

It also has alerting capability, which is not zeroconf (configuring it properly is a bit of a chore). 😅

They try to push a pro/paid version, but it's subtle and completely optional (a bit like the way Portainer does it).
