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.

Similar, at a company they asked the person cataloging the systems to write a yaml, then a dev wrote a script that converted it to html and then they asked a designer to slap some CSS on it. I don't think it took more than an hour of each person's time. Plus you can do each stage individually and improve it over time. For example later yet someone put the yaml in a git repo and threw together a simple deploy, someone made a script that pinged systems periodically etc.
At that point you're just reinventing a monitoring system.
For proper monitoring yeah, I'm just saying it's faster to write a HTML page than to install a homepage app that won't detect half your stuff properly anyway.
