Issues with self-hosting SigNoz (from Reddit)

The main issues I faced:

Setup/deployment is confusing. The mix of the deploy script/using docker compose to deploy doesn’t make sense. You should just have a docker compose file that you can use to up/down the stack.

After running docker compose up to start the stack/set it up, it doesn’t auto come back up after a reboot. Looks like it’s missing restart: unless-stopped in multiple places.

It’s not clear how to pass metrics/logs from another host into signoz. A tutorial or example docker compose file would be great. I’d like to run a metric/log collector as a docker container on each Linux host. I’d like to pass docker container metrics and docker locks into Signoz.
