Container Details
CT 100 — ollama
- Runs Ollama server for local LLM inference
- Access models from LAN
CT 101 — adguard
- AdGuard Home DNS server
- Likely set as LAN DNS resolver (192.168.1.x)
CT 102 — docker
- General-purpose Docker host for misc containers
- Check inside with
pct exec 102 -- docker ps
- 17 containers running, all with
unless-stopped/always restart policies
- Docker data-root:
/mnt/data/docker (300 GB data-hdd mount)
- Config:
/etc/docker/daemon.json → {"data-root": "/mnt/data/docker"}
- Moved from
/var/lib/docker on 2026-04-24
- System disk: 51% used (was 88% before Docker data-root migration — resolved ✅ 2026-04-24)
CT 103 — beszel
- Monitoring hub for all containers/VMs
- Pulls metrics from beszel agents running on each host
CT 104 — vaultwarden
- Self-hosted Bitwarden password manager
- Separate from aimpress VPS vaultwarden
CT 105 — immich
- Photo management (Google Photos alternative)
- PostgreSQL data dir:
/opt/immich/data/postgresql (on data-hdd)
- Symlink at original path:
/var/lib/postgresql → /opt/immich/data/postgresql
- Migrated from
/var/lib/postgresql on 2026-04-24
- Immich cache:
/opt/immich/data/cache on data-hdd, symlinked from /opt/immich/cache
- Upload dir:
/opt/immich/upload — existing 200 GB data-hdd mount (unchanged)
- System disk: 62% used (was 82% before migration — resolved ✅ 2026-04-24)
CT 107 — homarr
CT 110 — uptimekuma
- Monitors all services for uptime
- Web UI — configure webhooks to monitoring-agent for alerts
- ⚠ Pending: add Webhook to
http://192.168.1.225:9111/alert/uptime-kuma
Useful Commands
# List VMs and containers
ssh pve "qm list && pct list"
# Execute command in container
ssh pve "pct exec 102 -- docker ps"
# Start/stop container
ssh pve "pct start 110"
ssh pve "pct stop 110"
# Check storage
ssh pve "pvesm status"
Key Takeaways
- local-lvm at 71% — clean up unused volumes or expand before hitting 85%
- Kali Linux VM (200) running — for security/pentesting
- Ollama (CT 100) = local LLM inference, no API key needed
- AdGuard (CT 101) = DNS for LAN — changing it affects all home devices
- All containers running — healthy cluster
- Tailscale enables access from anywhere without port forwarding
- CT 102 Docker data moved to data-hdd — system disk at 51% (healthy)
- CT 105 PostgreSQL/Immich data moved to data-hdd — system disk at 68% (healthy)
