Container Details
CT 101 — adguard
- AdGuard Home DNS server (LXC)
- Also runs Docker AdGuard container — LAN DNS resolver
- IP: 192.168.1.62, Beszel agent: port 45876
CT 102 — docker
- General-purpose Docker host — ~50 containers
- Check inside with
pct exec 102 -- docker ps
- Docker data-root:
/mnt/data/docker (data-hdd mount)
- Config:
/etc/docker/daemon.json → {"data-root": "/mnt/data/docker"}
- Beszel Hub at port 8090 — manages all monitoring
- Beszel agent at port 45879 (monitors Docker host itself)
- System disk: ~51%
CT 105 — immich
- Photo management (Google Photos alternative)
- IP: 192.168.1.71, Beszel agent: port 45876
- PostgreSQL data dir:
/opt/immich/data/postgresql (data-hdd symlink)
- Upload dir:
/opt/immich/upload (200 GB data-hdd mount)
CT 111 — media
- Media stack: Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyseerr
- IP: 192.168.1.230, Beszel agent: port 45876
- Jellyseerr at
media.ai-impress.com (5055)
- Jellyfin at 192.168.1.230:8096
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) stopped
- AdGuard (CT 101) = DNS for LAN — changing it affects all home devices
- All 4 LXC 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 (healthy)
- Beszel monitoring all 5 systems (pve + 4 LXC) — all UP ✅ (2026-04-30)
