A homelab-focused Docker container dashboard for setups using Telegraf's Docker socket input plugin with Prometheus output — no cAdvisor required. Built for environments where cAdvisor fails due to cgroup v2 incompatibility or non-standard Docker data roots. Panels: host CPU/RAM/disk gauges (via node_exporter), per-container memory bar gauge (deduplicated), CPU % time series, network RX/TX, and a colour-coded summary table sorted by memory usage. Tested on Proxmox + Docker Compose with Telegra
