Netdata

netdata.sh installs Netdata from the Netdata package repository directly on the Proxmox VE host, to monitor the host. No container is involved.

What Install doesCopy Anchor Link

1. Reads the Debian codename from /etc/os-release.
2. Installs debian-keyring.
3. Looks up the newest netdata-repo_*all.deb under https://repo.netdata.cloud/repos/repoconfig/debian/<codename>/ and installs it with dpkg -i. If none is found the script exits with code 237.
4. Installs the netdata package.

The dashboard address is printed as http://<host-ip>:19999. The script sets no password and creates no credentials file.

UpdateCopy Anchor Link

The script has no update option. Netdata is an APT package from the repository added in step 3, so it is upgraded together with the host's other packages.

RemoveCopy Anchor Link

Run the script again and choose Uninstall. It:

• stops the netdata service;
• deletes /var/log/netdata, /var/lib/netdata, /var/cache/netdata and /etc/netdata/go.d;
• deletes /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/netdata-archive-keyring.gpg and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/netdata.list;
• purges the packages netdata and netdata-repo, runs apt autoremove;
• deletes the netdata user.

LimitsCopy Anchor Link

• The script does not check whether Netdata is already installed; Install on an existing installation runs the same steps again.
• This installs software on the hypervisor. For monitoring a single container, use Glances inside it instead.
