I'm thinking about getting started using Docker and an older Raspberry Pi. I'm already hosting a grafana service on it, so It can't be fully dedicated to ha. So curious what everyone is using.

That makes sense. And definitely need to keep my grafana service as is since it's basically a fitness service that I pair with Garmin. I was thinking about spinning up another instance to keep them separate since I might move the fitness service to a cloud provider eventually. Thanks for sharing!!!

Oh wow, I just had a look at that, normally Grafana is used for monitoring things like server response times and internal stats. Using for a Garmin fitness device is awesome! I would never have thought of it as a good way to get that kind of data and see it visually.

Do you use it to see your training progress over time? Or is it more for seeing specific runs and comparing? How do you actually use it? Is it useful for you?

I use it to keep track of my fitness progress over time mostly. I just got it set up a couple of months ago, so the verdict is still out as to how much I'll use it over time.

I just cloned the repo and configured it.

It's rather good and eye opening. It has exposed some needed changes to my sedentary habits.

This is the dashboard and project: https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/23245-garmin-stats/
