Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Node exporter on hosts, OpenTelemetry collector to scrape metrics and collect logs, shipping them to Prometheus and Loki, visualising with Grafana.
Day job is for an observability platform where we heavily encourage the use of (and also contribute) to the OpenTelemetry collector project, hence my use of it.
Try VictoriaMetrics. Basically the same feature set as Prometheus, but so much more resource friendly for homelab scale. I store some metrics for 12 months now, because it's easy.
Similar setup here with additional exporters like cadvisor for container metrics and other components.
OpenTelemetry is awesome, but still a very fast moving project. Expect therefore more frequent updates and changes compared to more older and established projects.
Do you have a name for the opentelemetry collector? I'm interested.
Use the Contrib version of the collector, it has many more receivers, processors and exporters
