Hi guys,

I'm the author of https://github.com/kaihendry/pingprom and I have been running:

* alertmanager

* prometheus

* blackbox prober

* grafana

* caddy to manage the endpoints with ssl & basic auth

on one "Droplet". Tbh it's not been a smooth experience. Lately I've been running into weird CoreOS (or is it Docker) issues RE DNS resolution and I can't find any answers or support.

So I am looking at other hopefully simpler ways of running these images. To my utter disillusionment Digital Ocean et al are pushing Kubernetes which makes the complexity of systemd+docker look like a Fisher-Price toy.

Am I missing simpler approaches? I'm even willing to consider a hosted solution at this point, since I am just too busy with other things.

Cheers,

Kai Hendry

I'm being very unfair to CoreOS, since the DNS issue seems to be one of blackbox exporter's defaults: https://natalian.org/2019/01/02/No_suitable_address_found/
