Agents (Portainer environments)¶
| Host | LXC Name | IP | Port | Stack |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CT 109 | ops | unix:///var/run/docker.sock | — | built-in |
| CT 104 | docker | 192.168.1.40 | 9001 | /opt/stacks/portainer-agent.yml |
| ~~CT 110~~ | ~~id~~ | ~~192.168.1.5~~ | — | DESTROYED 2026-05-26 — Pocket-ID moved to CT 109 |
| CT 111 | dev | 192.168.1.42 | 9001 | /opt/stacks/ops-agents/docker-compose.yml |
| CT 112 | secrets | 192.168.1.7 | 9001 | /opt/stacks/ops-agents/docker-compose.yml |
| CT 113 | db | 192.168.1.6 | 9001 | /opt/stacks/db/docker-compose.yml |
Add each as a Portainer Agent environment: http://<ip>:9001.
OIDC (Pocket-ID)¶
Status: pending — requires manual OIDC client creation in Pocket-ID web UI first.
- Go to
https://id.nuclide.systems/settings/admin/oidc-clients - Create client:
- Name:
portainer - Redirect URIs:
http://192.168.1.8:9000/ - Note the Client ID and Client Secret
- Configure in Portainer → Settings → Authentication → OAuth 2.0:
- Authorization URL:
https://id.nuclide.systems/authorize - Access Token URL:
https://id.nuclide.systems/api/oidc/token - Resource URL:
https://id.nuclide.systems/api/oidc/userinfo - Redirect URL:
http://192.168.1.8:9000/ - Client ID / Secret from step 2
- User Identifier:
email - Scopes:
openid profile email - Logout URL:
https://id.nuclide.systems/logout - Enable "Automatic user provisioning"
Or via API once client credentials are known:
JWT=$(curl -s -X POST http://192.168.1.8:9000/api/auth \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"username":"fkrebs","password":"tapirnase"}' | python3 -c 'import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)["jwt"])')
curl -X PUT http://192.168.1.8:9000/api/settings \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"AuthenticationMethod": 3,

Observability¶
Portainer metrics scraped by Prometheus on CT 109 at /api/metrics.
- Auth:
X-API-Key: ptr_tJhUVPuut6wreG6yTkuRZcfM0Rlu8Jehbx7+LHG4unc=(prometheus-scrape API token, user fkrebs) - Prometheus job:
portainerin/opt/stacks/monitoring/prometheus/prometheus.yml - Grafana dashboard:
http://192.168.1.8:3000/d/portainer-be/portainer-be - Environment count, health status table, CPU/memory per environment, auth attempt rate
- Alert rules:
/opt/stacks/monitoring/prometheus/rules/portainer.yml PortainerEnvironmentUnhealthy— env status == 2 for >2m → warningPortainerDown— scrape target unreachable for >1m → critical
Key metrics:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| portainer_environment_count | Total environments by type (docker/k8s/swarm) |
| portainer_environment_status | 1=healthy, 2=unhealthy per environment |
| portainer_environment_resource_usage | CPU/memory % per environment |
| portainer_authentication_total_status | Auth success/fail counters |
Arcane decommission (2026-05-26)¶
Arcane was replaced by Portainer on 2026-05-26:
- Arcane server (CT 109 /opt/stacks/arcane/docker-compose.yml) → renamed .DECOMMISSIONED-2026-05-26
- Arcane agents removed from: CT 104 ops-agents, CT 105 ops-agents, CT 111 ops-agents, CT 112 ops-agents, CT 113 db stack
- Arcane OIDC client 81cf4ed0-ea48-4df7-9c2d-cc1704b060f9 in Pocket-ID → to be deleted manually
- Zoraxy route arcane.nuclide.systems → still exists, pending explicit confirmation to remove
