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.

Zabbix & Grafana for supervision

@[email protected] personally I prefer CheckMk over Zabbix. I found Zabbix to be an absolute pig. Both are on the complex side. But really, you probably just need something like Uptime Kuma.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I will check CheckMK but I think that uptime kuma is really bad for me, because this thing is very simple, does not have many options etc. So not a choice for me πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Yes! Uptime Kuma is really awesome too, but it's just for service availability, nothing more.

I've heard of zabbix but what's the difference with Grafana? If I've understand Tubearchivist is a self-hosted "YouTube app"? And how useful is a XMPP server?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Zabbix collect all the data (for exemple, cpu usage, memory usage, disk space etc...) Grafana take this data from zabbix and display it, You can create dashboards with only the useful data you need!

TubeArchivist is indeed "selfhosted youtube" but more importantly it's more of a Youtube Backup, if you watch a lot of content on there, like me, you know that videos gets deleted all the time, and archiving videos that you like is really important (at least if some videos means a lot to you, like me)

And a XMPP server is just a self-hosted messaging/calls service that works like email and is decentralized. I'm not that familliar with it yet, but i'm loving the concept

You can create dashboards with only the useful data you need!

While dashboards are nice to look at, I very much prefer to just configure Zabbix to only notify me in case of actual problems and leave me alone the rest of the time. πŸ˜‰ Also, Zabbix has capabilities to show graphs and create dashboards as well. No need for Grafana here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Alerting is good too yes!

But when you have multiple Datasource, grafana is great to cross the data and see everything at once, plus Grafana dashboard are better looking imo!
