Node-Exporter
Node-Exporter exposes host metrics (CPU, RAM, disk, network) to Prometheus. One instance runs per host, each in its own container.
Hosts: Dankclaw (unit) + Dankserver (compose service) — Docs: https://prometheus.io/docs/guides/node-exporter
Facts
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Image | prom/node-exporter:latest |
| Listen addresses | 127.0.0.1:9100 and 192.168.0.143:9100 (Dankclaw) |
| Network | Network=host + --pid=host |
| Unit | dankclaw/observability/quadlet/node-exporter.container → node-exporter.service |
| Paths | --path.procfs=/host/proc --path.sysfs=/host/sys --path.rootfs=/rootfs |
| Auth | none — it is an unauthenticated metrics endpoint by design |
Why it is the one LAN listener
Every other observability service publishes on loopback. This one cannot:
- Prometheus runs in a container on the
dankclaw_defaultnetwork and cannot reach the host's loopback address, so it needs the host's LAN IP;shared/prometheus/prometheus.ymlscrapes192.168.0.143:9100under thenode-dankclawjob. - The homepage status timer runs on the host and probes
127.0.0.1:9100.
The unit therefore binds exactly those two addresses with two --web.listen-address flags — never the wildcard. It has no authentication, so it is never vhosted and never published beyond the LAN.
Mounts
| Container path | Host path |
|---|---|
/host/proc |
/proc (read-only) |
/host/sys |
/sys (read-only) |
/rootfs |
/ (read-only) |
The mount paths and the --path.* flags are a pair: changing one without the other gives an exporter that starts cleanly and reports nothing.
Prometheus Targets
| Host | Target |
|---|---|
| Dankclaw | 192.168.0.143:9100 |
| Dankserver | 192.168.0.235:9100 |
The scrape jobs live in shared/prometheus/prometheus.yml; see Prometheus. The tests/observability_quadlet.bats seam pins the Dankclaw address to this unit's listen address so the two cannot drift apart.
Gotchas
- Host networking is required (or a published port); the deploy's health wait probes
127.0.0.1:9100/metrics. - The
/proc,/sysand root mounts must be read-only. - Each host's instance reflects only its own host; do not try to share one.
- Collectors are the image defaults — no per-collector tuning and no textfile collector for custom metrics.
