Best platform for self-hosted logs? (alien.top)

BLUF: Is there a "datadog-for-home"?

I've a ton of stuff running at home ranging from a 5-node PI cluster with various containers running on them including things like self-written python scripts doing "super important" stuff, node-red running everything about my energy setup, pfsense, TrueNAS etc.

Logging is painful and I've just lost about 4 hours trying to find a fault which stopped car charging. Lots of rabbit holes were entered as I currently don't have an end-to-end logging solution.

What does everyone else use?

I tried some tools and the one that I am currently using is OpenObserve, it's light has a very good compression and is simple to manage, as an observability platform I think that open observe has some features that can be used instead of datadog like log injestion and open telemetry traces
