Background

Ubuntu packages are outdated and getting textfile collectors working is a hassle. This is the only sane option for running Prometheus Node Exporter with textfile collectors such as SMART metrics, NVMe metrics etc.

Deploying

See supplied docker-compose.yml and launch:

docker-compose --project-name prometheus_node_exporter up -d

Security

Don't forget to add some iptables rules for protecting the node exporter endpoint.
