This tutorial has precise steps and easy to follow. I am looking forward to see more of your videos like this.
If you could add the command line in sequence that will be exceptional.

Thank you, was helpful in setting my first prometheus/grafana. I suggest instead of using the containers ip, that you use the container names thanks to the --link option. This is much more maintainable (i did this with docker-compose but it should work with CLI commands too)

People say, it is not recommended to run node exporter in a container?

Why download prometheus directly to your machine if you're running it in docker anyway? shouldn't you just use a containerized versions of Prometheus?
