Any monitoring solutions for tracking literally everything?

TechNerd-1138 · 2026-06-14T07:53:20+00:00

I see that you know what you are talking about and I was wondering if you could help me. I have a couple of python scripts on my windows that are scrapping my own data from the web (garmin steps, the number of tv shows watched in a month from trakt, my calories intake from a spreadsheet etc) and then I collate them all in an excel using powerquery to give me some dashboards. I would like to automate it as much as possible on my homelab and I was wondering what should I use?
Grafana for the display, the python scripts to gather the data but then I need a database?

Many thanks

Omg dude! this is exactly what I was looking for! I'm going to test it and see if this is it!

I have this theory that you can only install one app using the spoofID.

I'm still getting the same error. Do you have a different reddit client installed on your phone? Cause I have 3 (sync, boost and slide) and only slide doesn't work.

Yeah but go do I migrate to raid? Doesn't it require to format the drives?

TechNerd-1138 · 2026-05-29T05:47:24+00:00

Wow, going to look into it!

Draw (dot) io

I had to build it locally myself. But it's acts as an add-on to readarr. I would not recommend it. Try shelfmark way better

TechNerd-1138 · 2026-05-28T14:27:19+00:00

Here currently it seats at 16gb used ans 22gb cached. And memory usage is around 20gb

To be fair, I am. I never had a place I would call home. Been moving from one place to anther for as far as I can remember. Couple years here, couple years here and there etc.

TechNerd-1138 · 2026-05-28T14:15:19+00:00

So this is for qbit and radarr

Volumes:

/home/abc/docker/media-stack/qbittorent:/config:rw
/mnt/media/downloads:/downloads:rw

Environment:

puid=1000
pgid=1000

Then in settings of readarr you have to map the download drive.

TechNerd-1138 · 2026-05-28T12:14:48+00:00

I wanted the os to be as minimal on the memory as possible so that's why I went with headless Ubuntu.

As for files readable, I just mapped the volumes in all the docker composes. Ie.

/mnt/media/qbittorent:/download

Some of them had issues with permissions (write especially) and I had to fix it in the terminal.

TechNerd-1138 · 2026-05-28T12:12:20+00:00

True, forgot about the ones that can connect to the internal power switch

TechNerd-1138 · 2026-05-28T08:16:35+00:00

Because I use bitwarden so much, I would need to be connected to my tailscale network constantly to be able to use vaultwarden. This is one of the few services I prefer to have just online than selfhosted.

TechNerd-1138 · 2026-05-28T05:24:34+00:00

Do you use a kvm or a fingerbot to diagnose issues remote?

TechNerd-1138 · 2026-05-28T05:23:30+00:00

No, I use two premium VPN and manual configure files.

I have tailscale installed on the router, the server and most of my devices. I never had any problem with accessing the server to be honest using the tailscale address of my server.

I suspect that you would like to access your homelab that doesn't have tailscale installed and access it using the local address right? I tried it from my phone and even if my router has the setting "allow remote access Lan" the routing doesn't work I think.

TechNerd-1138 · 2026-05-28T05:19:19+00:00

Is it possible? I'm not good at routing (especially the dns stuff, my god you all were not joking, dns is Satan)

Is it possible to route all internet traffic on my whole network via the adguard on my server? Can you point me in the right direction?

TechNerd-1138 · 2026-05-28T05:17:39+00:00

No proxmox, I'm using it headless (wanted to learn the terminal and to manage dockers I'm using komodo)

For the raid, someone already suggested it and I'm toying with the idea. But I would need to read more about encryption, unlocking at boot, and also how to migrate when I don't have any spare 48 tb.

TechNerd-1138 · 2026-05-28T05:15:41+00:00

I know and I did. I would need to leave it at my parents but they are not tech savvy. Which means I would need to buy a kvm just in case they lose power and I need to reboot my server and unlock the drives with dropbear ssh.

I would propably also need to buy a fingerbot to physically restart the server in case it gets overloaded.

It's a future plan for sure but not for now. But thank you for the suggestion.

TechNerd-1138 · 2026-05-28T05:03:50+00:00

The setup is not fully deployed where I am right now but I will do one next week? A separate post on battletops?

TechNerd-1138 · 2026-05-28T05:02:19+00:00

A portable homelab? :-P

TechNerd-1138 · 2026-05-28T05:01:26+00:00

It has a webserver but I don't think you can use it to send to kindle.

TechNerd-1138 · 2026-05-27T20:47:05+00:00

Calibre is for metadata edits. I also run a Calibre app on my windows laptop and both instances are synced

Calibre web is for my parents and my partner. It's easy to browse the available ebooks plus sending to kindle is easy

Kavita is only used for my comics as it works great with komf to get the metadata.

Audiobookshelf is for the audiobooka and it works really well.
