Homelab Observability
Monitoring and service visibility for self-hosted infrastructure
Overview
A practical observability setup for self-hosted services: dashboards, health checks, logs, and resource visibility for the systems that run personal projects.
The problem
Running production workloads at home without visibility into system health, performance degradation, or failure patterns is risky and slow to debug.
What I built
A Docker-based monitoring stack with Grafana dashboards, InfluxDB-backed telemetry, service health checks, and lightweight log views for common debugging paths.
Technical details
Services run behind Traefik and Cloudflare, with Grafana used for dashboards and InfluxDB used where time-series telemetry is useful. The goal is operational clarity, not enterprise theatre.
