I see Docker has a Loki plug-in for logging. Anyone have an opinion one way or the other for using it vs Promtail for a home lab?

Promtail is for collecting metrics from log files, Loki is for log aggregation. Really depends on what your needs are. Do you want to be able to view the actual log entries or do you only want to see metrics about the logs?
