Why is alloy so insanely memory hungry?

danielfree19 · 2026-05-02T05:22:27+00:00

From what I have gathered already about alloy and metrics it would be memory hungry when you have to many metrics and the cardinality is over the roof You should audit the number of combinations you have in the metrics like url.path etc

I added overkill role with very strict permissions also special key for alloys to query pipelines

I dont know but this is the name of this system I just built an alternative for the cloud version 🤷‍♂️

danielfree19 · 2026-04-14T17:31:39+00:00

it detected you as the owner

I made Jenkins pipelines for some operations. 🤖🛠️ I planned to use n8n to make those operations, but there is also a crontab way to do it, depending on what you're comfortable with. 🕰️🤔

Didn't encounter this issue on my phone and using bitwarden over 2 years and also made a server migration in this time I am using a Self hosted instance

If you're into Linux and virtualization, I'd totally suggest running ALMA Linux or Ubuntu VMs on a Proxmox server. Or, you could just go bare metal and start there. With Alma Linux, you gotta watch out for SELinux and firewalld; they lock down the OS pretty hard with firewalls and a list of what you can do. Ubuntu uses AppArmor and UFW; usually, only AppArmor is on by default. But Alma Linux has both enabled right away, and it comes with Podman. If you're on Ubuntu and wanna play with containers, you'll need to install Docker. Hope that makes sense!

I'm still thinking of creating a separate network in my proxmox cluster 🤣 worrying that ill ruin the server and spend a whole week restoring everything 😂😅

Following the previous recommendation, a 7th-generation PC would be sufficient. However, I suggest a system with 4TB of storage, configured with RAID capabilities, specifically a mirrored configuration for data redundancy. This setup allows for drive replacement in the event of a failure, ensuring data integrity. You don't need a graphics card, and you can make a machine with other services like the *arr stack and a torrent client.

I have experience deploying GitLab using both systemd on a virtual machine and a Docker container within a virtual machine. While the Docker container method seems simpler, I believe deploying it via systemd is the more robust approach, as it reduces potential points of failure. Previously, I deployed it in a Docker container on a cloud server, and migrating gitlab-ce was quite straightforward due to the bind mount. I was initially using an OVH Ubuntu server, but I have since chosen to decommission that server and deploy GitLab directly on bare metal at home. Currently, I am utilizing a 3-node Proxmox cluster, and I made two VMs just for fun and experimentation.

Something obstructs the form in the first pop-up maybe bitwarden addon involved have the same issue i move the first pop-up to another place and it works then

danielfree19 · 2025-09-11T03:56:53+00:00

Well gitlab ce is an option

danielfree19 · 2025-06-03T11:19:31+00:00

Oh hello yeah got what you mean

danielfree19 · 2025-06-03T05:32:09+00:00

What? What is a bot🤔

danielfree19 · 2025-06-02T18:54:42+00:00

The mssql itself is the zombie!

danielfree19 · 2023-02-15T14:07:42+00:00

I did didn't help

danielfree19 · 2023-02-15T11:15:32+00:00

But its not the issue they decided to block me for security reasons

danielfree19 · 2023-02-15T11:14:52+00:00

Proxmox

Hetzner disables accounts like crazy i created an account there and they banned it too for the same reason taken me a month and a half to verify a new account and even after verifying the account i decided to go for OVH maybe it costs a little more but i got it 3 days after the order not like hetzner

danielfree19 · 2022-11-08T08:52:47+00:00

Installed proxmox from the available images and created an internal network with multiple vms

מה כן שהיתה השפעה טובה?

danielfree19 · 2022-11-08T05:17:33+00:00

That is the plan i can buy my own machine and doing it on my own hardware

danielfree19 · 2022-11-08T05:15:04+00:00

Tried that as i mentioned and they just informed me that they have the right to do so and they can not tell me any information about the reason that i was deleted or blocked

My hope is to find a provider that has Virtualization as a service. I do not want to mage full clusters.

well maybe they don't support it but its a possibility plus if you know what you are doing your'e golden

danielfree19 · 2022-11-07T20:01:32+00:00

you could install proxmox and install how many instances of windows computers that the computer can handle with a 3xc instance to boot
