Need to do some cable management 😭

I have 1 mini PC ubuntu server running some docker apps on it. Then i have another proxmox cluster with 2 nodes ( will add 1 more in future ) , to which i am slowly migrating my services to VMs/LxCs .

In the ubuntu server i have dockhand installed to monitor, manage docker containers which worked great till now since all my docker apps are on single server.

In the new Proxmox VM with docker, I installed the dockhand hawserr agent and added it as environment in dockhand. So if i create more VMs, LxCs basically i have to install the hawserr agent in each and add as new environment in dockhand.

Is there any way to add containers across the VMs and LxCs to a single docker environment ? Or any other software that can do this management in a better way ?

Have always loved tinkering with networking , servers etc. Started with hdd into router , then a file sharing server in my pc ,old laptop as a server etc. Finally discovered mini pcs and how amazing they can be to efficiently setup a always on server. Then added a NAS to have my own cloud.

I work in IT , know docker very well , networking a bit. Setup most of things myself through online documentations but I gotta say having AI ( claude ) was very helpful for debugging some networking issues quickly. The whole process took a week+ for me. Loved the process end to end , after setting up evrything accessible through both home and outside network, seeing the dashboards and green on kuma is such a feeling man.

High level setup :

(Detailed diagram I have attached )

ISP ONT -> Router 1 -> 2.5g 5 port switch -> Router 2 ( connected through LAN)

PC, Beelink and Synology NAS directly to switch.

All home smart devices connected to Router 2 wifi
