Operator-approved fleet monitoring extension. Both agents up + healthy:
- beszel-agent on host port 45876 (KEY-mode, hub at ana-docker:8090
SSH-polls inbound; seeded with hub's ed25519 pubkey).
- dozzle-agent on host port 7007 (mTLS auto-generated; hub at
ana-docker:8088 connects inbound).
Compose lives at /home/vh/docker/compose/{beszel,dozzle-agent}/ rather
than the fleet-standard /opt/docker/compose/{...}/ because corviduo-dev's
/opt/ is owned by deploy:deploy (Worldtree team) and vh lacks
passwordless sudo to create the fleet path. Functionally identical;
documented in servers/corviduo-dev/README.md so future infra-ops
sessions find them.
Created an empty traefik-net external docker network on corviduo-dev
as a side effect of dozzle-agent's compose (which declares it external).
Future PFI services landing here can reuse it.
Dozzle hub on ana-docker had 10.250.50.152:7007 appended to
DOZZLE_REMOTE_AGENT (a host-side change to a non-tracked .env, not
canonical). Beszel hub still needs corviduo-dev added via the UI's
"Add System" action — one-time operator step, flagged in the corviduo
README.

# beszel
|
|
|
|
Lightweight monitoring — CPU, memory, disk, network, and per-container stats for every Docker host, with alerts over email/webhook. Pairs with Dozzle (logs) on the same server.
|
|
|
|
**Deploys to:**
|
|
- **ana-docker** (hub + local agent) — UI at `http://10.250.50.70:8090`
|
|
- **ana-ml2** (agent only) — listens on `10.250.50.54:45876`
|
|
- **nh3-docker** (agent only, cross-site) — listens on `10.100.50.40:45876`
|
|
- **corviduo-dev** (agent only) — listens on `10.250.50.152:45876`. Compose at `/home/vh/docker/compose/beszel/` (not `/opt/docker/compose/` — see `servers/corviduo-dev/README.md` for why)
|
|
|
|
Same compose.yaml on each host. Per-host `.env` sets `COMPOSE_PROFILES` to bring up the right combination. Each agent host is added individually in the hub UI.
|
|
|
|
## How hub ↔ agent auth works
|
|
|
|
Beszel uses SSH-key-based auth: the hub generates its own keypair on first boot, and each agent must be seeded with the hub's **public key** via the `KEY` env var. Agents listen on a port (default 45876); the hub pulls metrics by connecting to them with that key.
|
|
|
|
Operator flow on first deploy:
|
|
|
|
1. Bring up the **hub** on ana-docker with `BESZEL_HUB_KEY=` blank and the agent profile disabled.
|
|
2. Open the UI, create the admin account, click **Add System** — Beszel shows the public key.
|
|
3. Copy the key into `BESZEL_HUB_KEY` in the `.env` on both hosts.
|
|
4. Re-deploy the hub with `COMPOSE_PROFILES=hub,agent` to add the local agent; deploy the agent on ana-ml2.
|
|
5. Back in the UI, **Add System** with `host=127.0.0.1 port=45876` (local) and `host=10.250.50.54 port=45876` (ana-ml2).
|
|
|
|
## Deploy — hub + local agent (ana-docker)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ssh ana-docker
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /opt/docker/compose/beszel
|
|
sudo chown $USER /opt/docker/compose/beszel
|
|
cd /opt/docker/compose/beszel
|
|
|
|
# scp compose.yaml + .env.example, then:
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
# First pass — hub only, no key yet:
|
|
# COMPOSE_PROFILES=hub
|
|
# BESZEL_PORT=8090
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
|
|
# Open http://10.250.50.70:8090 → create admin → click "Add System" →
|
|
# copy the displayed public key into BESZEL_HUB_KEY.
|
|
|
|
# Second pass — add the local agent:
|
|
# COMPOSE_PROFILES=hub,agent
|
|
# BESZEL_EXTRA_FS=/mnt/backup,/mnt/compose
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Deploy — agent (ana-ml2)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ssh ana-ml2
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /opt/docker/compose/beszel
|
|
sudo chown $USER /opt/docker/compose/beszel
|
|
cd /opt/docker/compose/beszel
|
|
|
|
# scp the same compose.yaml + .env.example, then:
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
# Edit to:
|
|
# COMPOSE_PROFILES=agent
|
|
# BESZEL_HUB_KEY=<same key as the hub>
|
|
# BESZEL_EXTRA_FS=/tank
|
|
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
docker compose logs -f
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then in the hub UI, **Add System** with `host=10.250.50.54`, `port=45876`.
|
|
|
|
## Verify
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Hub health
|
|
curl -s http://10.250.50.70:8090/api/health
|
|
|
|
# Agent reachable
|
|
ssh ana-docker 'nc -zv 10.250.50.54 45876'
|
|
|
|
# Local agent reachable from hub container
|
|
docker exec beszel nc -zv host.docker.internal 45876
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Sizing / impact
|
|
|
|
The agent is ~10 MB RAM and negligible CPU — runs fine alongside anything on ana-ml2 including GPU workloads. Host-mode networking means it has no port conflicts with other stacks as long as `BESZEL_AGENT_PORT` stays unique.
|
|
|
|
## Alerts
|
|
|
|
Configured inside the hub UI (Settings → Notifications). Supports email (SMTP), Gotify, ntfy, Discord, Slack, and generic webhooks. Alert rules attach to per-system or global thresholds (CPU, memory, disk, container down, etc.).
