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.

I'm a huge fan of Netdata, very configurable and monitors just about anything you could want. Great interface and alerts too - https://www.netdata.cloud/
I love how easy to use NetData is, but when running it on my home servers it destroys their performance lol. Every once in awhile I check in to see if it runs better.
That's strange, I've run it fine on some very underpowered hardware. Are you adding a specific monitoring integration with it, or just out of the box settings?
Just out of the box. I am usually running it as a container on UnRAID on an x86 machine. It seems primarily to just be a big memory hog when I’ve tried to use it.
Weird! For reference one VM I run on only has 1 GB of memory, and Netdata uses 100-200 MB. Could be something going on with UnRAID though. Definitely some sort of bug I'd think, since normally resource usage should be very low across the board.
Netdata 100%
It feeds my itch for more data than I know what to do with and it's presented in one of the cleanest ways I've ever seen for so much info.
Same been running netdata for years. They're monetizing now where it used to just be free. Good for them, it's a great product. And it's foss
I was looking for something free that I could host on my machine but thanks, I didn't know about it
As others stated, you can run and access the interface locally (or setup your own reverse proxy) for free. Their Cloud dashboard is also free for up to 5 nodes. They recently added a flat-rate "Homelab" plan as well, if you want to remove the limit. It's all quite usable for $0 otherwise though!
Netdata is free and can be run standalone. Just install it and do not configure the cloud integration. You can see your dashboard on localhost:19999
Oh that's neat, will take a look! Can you run it on docker?
