Does anyone have a recommended way to run netdata on Proxomox? From what I can see you can:
  • Run netdata on base system --- this doesn't seem like a great idea since you're installing an application on the base hypervisor level. Maybe Proxmox already has built-in monitoring so you could say this is the same idea and can be installed there. I worry a bad update kills the host
  • Run netdata in docker container --- this is how I'd prefer to do it but then I need to install Docker directly to the Proxmox host
  • Run netdata in a KVM VM --- this doesn't work since it's a VM
  • Run netdata in a LXC container --- I've never tried this. I'd assume it needs to be a privileged container
What is everyone doing? Should I just bite the bullet and install on the base Linux level?
