Mostly my own eyes.. /s

I run Dozzle as a container on my host and I use the command 'docker stats' on the CLI on the dockerhost for in-depth stuff.

This is the only correct answer to this question!

How often are you shutting down your hosts? in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

[–] SilentDecode@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I run ESXi on most of my systems. So that means, when there is an update of ESXi, I install the updates and reboot them.

Sometimes I need to change hardware or upgrade stuff. Then too.

I took my docker host offline yesterday, because of a RAM upgrade (16GB > 24GB, yeah, I'm aware I lost dual-channel). I regularly check for updates on non-ESXi machines.

Some people love 100% uptime of their servers. I hate it. When somebody has high uptime, it means they are lazy and don't keep up with updates, which are critical most of the time.
