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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hi all. I just set-up my first self-hosting server with NextCloud, Immich and a VPN server. I was wondering if there is a tool or layer of tools which would help me monitor my server and the services including running stats, resource usage stats, system logs, access logs, etc?

I read that Grafana Loki along with Prometheus could possibly help me with this. I just wanted to ask that - should I explore these two tools or do we have some other and better(suiting to my needs) tools? Please recommend Open Source tools only. Preferably Docker, or Linux based otherwise. Thank you :))

I'm a big fan of netdata; it's part of my standard deployment. I put in some custom configs depending on what services are running on what servers. If there's an issue it sends me an email and posts into a slack channel.

Next step is an influxdb backend to keep more history.

I also use monit to restart certain services in certain situations.
