|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Applied Phase 0 performance optimizations to improve service speed by 30-50% with minimal risk.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Changes Made
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. ✅ Firefly III - Added Redis Cache
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `firefly.yml`
|
||||
|
||||
**Changes:**
|
||||
- Added `firefly-redis` service (Redis Alpine image)
|
||||
- Changed `CACHE_DRIVER=file` → `CACHE_DRIVER=redis`
|
||||
- Changed `SESSION_DRIVER=file` → `SESSION_DRIVER=redis`
|
||||
- Added Redis connection environment variables
|
||||
- Added database tuning: `--innodb-buffer-pool-size=512M --innodb-log-file-size=128M --max-connections=100`
|
||||
- Added `firefly_redis_data` volume
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected Impact:**
|
||||
- 30-50% faster page loads
|
||||
- Reduced disk I/O
|
||||
- Better session handling
|
||||
- Improved database performance
|
||||
|
||||
**How to Apply:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /home/icke/compose_files
|
||||
docker-compose -f firefly.yml up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. ✅ Zabbix - Database Performance Tuning
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `zabbix.yml`
|
||||
|
||||
**Changes:**
|
||||
- Added command line tuning to `mysql-zabbix`:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
command: --innodb-buffer-pool-size=2G --innodb-log-file-size=256M --max-connections=150 --innodb-flush-log-at-trx-commit=2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected Impact:**
|
||||
- 20-30% faster queries
|
||||
- Better handling of monitoring data
|
||||
- Reduced memory pressure (better allocation of 2.5GB RAM)
|
||||
- Improved write performance with flush optimization
|
||||
|
||||
**How to Apply:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /home/icke/compose_files
|
||||
docker-compose -f zabbix.yml restart mysql-zabbix
|
||||
# Wait 30 seconds for database to stabilize
|
||||
docker-compose -f zabbix.yml restart zabbix-server
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. ✅ Nextcloud - Added Tmpfs for Temporary Files
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `nextcloud.yml`
|
||||
|
||||
**Changes:**
|
||||
- Added tmpfs mounts to `app` service:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
tmpfs:
|
||||
- /tmp:size=1G
|
||||
- /var/tmp:size=512M
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Added descriptive container names:
|
||||
- `nextcloud-app` (previously auto-generated `compose_files_app_1`)
|
||||
- `nextcloud-db` (previously auto-generated `compose_files_db_1`)
|
||||
- `nextcloud-redis` (previously auto-generated `compose_files_redis_1`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected Impact:**
|
||||
- Faster preview generation (thumbnails, document previews)
|
||||
- Reduced SSD wear (temp files in RAM)
|
||||
- Better performance for file operations
|
||||
- ~40% reduction in disk I/O for temp files
|
||||
|
||||
**How to Apply:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /home/icke/compose_files
|
||||
docker-compose -f nextcloud.yml restart app
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Deployment Steps
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: Apply All at Once (Recommended)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /home/icke/compose_files
|
||||
|
||||
# 1. Firefly (creates new Redis container)
|
||||
docker-compose -f firefly.yml up -d
|
||||
echo "Waiting for Firefly to start..."
|
||||
sleep 15
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Zabbix (restarts database with tuning)
|
||||
docker-compose -f zabbix.yml restart mysql-zabbix
|
||||
echo "Waiting for database to stabilize..."
|
||||
sleep 30
|
||||
docker-compose -f zabbix.yml restart zabbix-server
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Nextcloud (restart with tmpfs)
|
||||
docker-compose -f nextcloud.yml restart app
|
||||
|
||||
echo "All performance improvements applied!"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: Apply One at a Time
|
||||
Do each service separately, test, then proceed to next.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Verification
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Service Status
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check all services are running
|
||||
docker ps --filter "name=firefly" --filter "name=zabbix" --filter "name=nextcloud"
|
||||
|
||||
# Check logs for errors
|
||||
docker-compose -f firefly.yml logs --tail=50 firefly
|
||||
docker-compose -f zabbix.yml logs --tail=50 mysql-zabbix
|
||||
docker-compose -f nextcloud.yml logs --tail=50 app
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Firefly Redis Connection
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Should see Redis connection in logs
|
||||
docker logs firefly_iii_core 2>&1 | grep -i redis
|
||||
|
||||
# Check Redis is accessible
|
||||
docker exec firefly_iii_redis redis-cli ping
|
||||
# Should return: PONG
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Zabbix Database
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check MySQL variables
|
||||
docker exec mysql-zabbix mysql -uroot -p'eccmts42*' -e "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'innodb_buffer_pool_size';"
|
||||
# Should show: 2147483648 (2GB)
|
||||
|
||||
docker exec mysql-zabbix mysql -uroot -p'eccmts42*' -e "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'max_connections';"
|
||||
# Should show: 150
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Nextcloud Tmpfs
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check tmpfs is mounted
|
||||
docker exec nextcloud-app df -h | grep tmpfs
|
||||
# Should see /tmp and /var/tmp with 1G and 512M
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Testing
|
||||
|
||||
**Before/After Comparison:**
|
||||
1. **Firefly**: Time loading dashboard, transactions page
|
||||
2. **Zabbix**: Check graph rendering speed, query execution time
|
||||
3. **Nextcloud**: Upload file, generate preview, test document editing
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Rollback Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### If Issues Occur
|
||||
|
||||
**Firefly:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /home/icke/compose_files
|
||||
git checkout firefly.yml # If using git
|
||||
# Or manually change CACHE_DRIVER and SESSION_DRIVER back to 'file'
|
||||
# Remove redis service
|
||||
docker-compose -f firefly.yml up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Zabbix:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Edit zabbix.yml and remove the 'command:' line
|
||||
docker-compose -f zabbix.yml restart mysql-zabbix
|
||||
docker-compose -f zabbix.yml restart zabbix-server
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Nextcloud:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Edit nextcloud.yml and remove 'tmpfs:' section
|
||||
docker-compose -f nextcloud.yml restart app
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Metrics to Watch (first 24 hours):**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Memory Usage**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker stats --no-stream | grep -E "firefly|zabbix|nextcloud"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Response Times**
|
||||
- Firefly dashboard load time
|
||||
- Zabbix web interface responsiveness
|
||||
- Nextcloud file preview generation
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Error Logs**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker-compose -f firefly.yml logs -f firefly | grep -i error
|
||||
docker-compose -f zabbix.yml logs -f mysql-zabbix | grep -i error
|
||||
docker-compose -f nextcloud.yml logs -f app | grep -i error
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Redis Stats (Firefly)**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker exec firefly_iii_redis redis-cli info stats
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps (From Roadmap)
|
||||
|
||||
After verifying these changes work well:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Add Redis to Gitea** (Phase 0 optional task)
|
||||
2. **Fix Unifi duplicate mount** (Phase 0 optional task)
|
||||
3. **Continue with Phase 1** security improvements
|
||||
4. **Consider additional performance optimizations**:
|
||||
- Hardware transcoding for Jellyfin/Plex
|
||||
- Switch Zabbix to Alpine image (save 500MB RAM)
|
||||
- Add resource limits/reservations
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Baseline
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Stats (Before Changes):**
|
||||
- Nextcloud DB: 4GB RAM, already optimized ✅
|
||||
- Zabbix MySQL: 2.5GB RAM, no tuning
|
||||
- Firefly: File-based cache, 17.9MB RAM (app only)
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected Stats (After Changes):**
|
||||
- Nextcloud: Same + tmpfs benefits
|
||||
- Zabbix MySQL: 2G allocated, better query performance
|
||||
- Firefly: Redis caching, faster response times
|
||||
