Summary
We need a better way to monitor all our docker containers in a multi server environment.
Justification
Being able to monitor, update and see the status of all my TrueNAS apps outside the ecosystem would allow this to be integrated on my Proxmox server (along with my non TrueNAS docker containers) all in the one place
Impact
(How is this feature going to impact all TrueNAS users? What are the benefits and advantages? Are there disadvantages?)
Not all users will benefit… but I suspect many run both TrueNAS and Proxmox. And may prefer to run something like Dockhand under Proxmox (rather than TrueNAS)
User Story
Setting up my home lab with both a TrueNAS CE server and a Proxmox server I have noticed a couple of competing ecosystems. You see this obviously with docker containers. They will run on both systems. So the choice then becomes.. “OK…which server is best for which particular docker container application”. That should be a personal choice. TrueNAS suits some more than others. And Visa versa. Rolling out my homelab this way adds robustness. And flexibility. Not to mention I am learning two ecosystems! So my question is what’s the best way to manage, monitor and update all docker images on both servers under the one GUI/ecosystem? I can’t find a suitable solution. That’s why I am putting in this request.
I am currently using Dockhand under proxmox but to pull all docker management under the one server hood I would have to run Hawser (there is not a native hawser app in TrueNAS…. yes I know I could add the docker container myself) but I would rather a trusted solution - not to mention one that also monitors the docker apps running under the TrueNAS appstore environment… Something that to this day also remains a problem necessitating running the apps store and something like the dockge app together in TrueNAS
Could this (perhaps) become an additional request for your upcoming TrueNAS<>Proxmox integration?
