# Netdata glibc Netdata glibc is a self-hosted tools & utilities app. A deprecated containerized Netdata build with glibc for monitoring hosts and NVIDIA GPUs on Unraid, superseded by Netdata v1.43.0 and later's native GPU support. It is open source and self-hosted, installable on Unraid and Docker Hub. Canonical page: https://ourlocalhost.com/app/863/netdata-glibc ## Description A deprecated containerized Netdata build with glibc for monitoring hosts and NVIDIA GPUs on Unraid, superseded by Netdata v1.43.0 and later's native GPU support. ## Platform availability Available on 1 of 9 platforms: Unraid. ## Health score 24/100 (Low), based on 4 of 4 factors. - Maintained: 0 (GitHub repository is archived) - Popular: 27 (21 GitHub stars) - Easy to install: 35 (1 install platform, install notes, Docker image) - Light to run: 70 (1 GB minimum RAM) ## Links - Unraid: https://ca.unraid.net/apps/netdata-glibc-1wjchkw18arrv0?q=netdata-glibc - Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/d34dc3n73r/netdata-glibc - Official website: https://app.netdata.cloud - Documentation: https://learn.netdata.cloud - GitHub: https://github.com/D34DC3N73R/netdata-glibc ## Common questions ### How do I migrate Netdata-glibc to the native Netdata image for NVIDIA GPU monitoring? Use netdata/netdata:stable instead of the glibc image and pass --gpus all with --cap-add SYS_PTRACE and --security-opt apparmor=unconfined. In Docker Compose, reserve the nvidia driver with count all and capabilities gpu. ### Why was a separate glibc build needed for NVIDIA GPU support? The standard Netdata container was based on Alpine/musl, while the NVIDIA container toolkit requires a glibc distribution. The glibc image added the GNU C library so GPU-enabled Netdata could run. ### Does the Netdata-glibc container include nvidia-smi? No, it does not contain nvidia-smi. It is compatible with nvidia-container-toolkit and the Unraid Nvidia Plugin. ### What mounts and permissions should I preserve when running the Netdata container? Expose port 19999 and mount /proc, /sys, /etc/os-release, /etc/passwd, and /etc/group read-only. Persist /netdata/config, /var/lib/netdata, and /var/lib/cache/netdata; add /var/run/docker.sock read-only if you monitor containers. ### How can I give Netdata Docker access without mounting the host Docker socket directly? Run a Docker socket proxy such as tecnativa/docker-socket-proxy, mount /var/run/docker.sock only into the proxy, and set DOCKER_HOST to proxy:2375 in Netdata. Set the proxy environment variable CONTAINERS=1 if you only need container information. ### What changed after Netdata moved to a full glibc base image? The NETDATA_EXTRA_APK_PACKAGES environment variable is no longer needed. The maintainer planned to update the app despite the name being redundant. ## Alternatives - Beszel: A lightweight server monitoring hub with historical data, docker stats, and alerts. - Better Stack: AI-driven monitoring platform providing incident management, real-time logs, uptime, traces, error tracking, infrastructure analytics, and… - Datadog: Datadog Agent is an on-host monitoring agent that collects metrics, logs, and traces from hosts, containers, and Kubernetes clusters and se… - Grafana: Grafana allows you to query, visualize, alert on and understand your metrics no matter where they are stored. - Monitorix: Monitorix is a system monitoring tool designed to monitor as many services and system resources as possible. - Munin: Munin is a networked resource monitoring tool that can help analyze resource trends and "what just happened to kill our performance?&q… - Nagios: Nagios is an open-source monitoring system that checks hosts, network services, and IT infrastructure resources so IT administrators can id… - New Relic: Pinpoint and solve performance issues in your Ruby, Java, .NET, PHP and Python apps with real user, application and server monitoring. - Paessler PRTG Network Monitor: Comprehensive network monitoring includes up/downtime tracking, traffic analysis, and performance metrics using SNMP, WMI, and NetFlow prot… - SigNoz: SigNoz is a self-hostable open-source observability platform that unifies logs, metrics, traces, alerts, and dashboards using OpenTelemetry… - VictoriaMetrics: VictoriaMetrics is a fast, cost-effective, and scalable open-source time-series database that stores long-term monitoring metrics, accepts… - Zabbix: Zabbix is an enterprise-class, open-source distributed monitoring solution designed to monitor the performance and availability of network… --- Source: Our Local Host (https://ourlocalhost.com/app/863/netdata-glibc), the self-hosted and open-source app directory.
