I know dashboards are super trendy, but I’d love to hear from those who are not using them. I personally use FreshRSS to keep track of as much as possible, along with Uptime Kuma and plain old bookmarks. Perhaps there is a better overview solution, but I also love filtering what I see to not feel overwhelmed. or spammed, by information.

    Never used a dashboard… I just manage my services on the cli with plain docker commands.

    Set of cron jobs that check services, then send a Matrix message if there’s an issue.

    For the cron jobs, I pipe stderr to another script that watches those and does the same.

    If all fails, and internet is unavailable and the router crashes, a Pi will toggle a relay, cutting and resupplying power.

    I call an api in technitium to register dns for all services when they are instantiated, and route everything through an nginx reverse proxy - Sonarr.internal.tld for example

    I don’t use any kind of monitoring Or dashboards

    I have just reduced the number of services to the couple I actually use, which I mostly remember exist. I have my own domain, so each service is service.mydomain.tld

      Same for me. I use most of my services multiple times a week, so I find out pretty quickly if one isn’t working.

        Same here 🙂 Last 3 times, things have broken because zfs raid on usb-connected DAS is not a great idea 😅😅

        Even though Level1Tech said it works 😶🫣 https://youtu.be/GmQdlLCw-5k from 11:11 . Maybe terramaster use bad usb chipset.

          I used a hodge-podge of chinesium parts and leftover drives to create a DAS system that hooks up to an HBA via DAC. I’m actually kinda surprised how stable it’s all been.

    If I had time to make dashboards, I wouldn’t waste it making dashboards. Most of the stuff I have just works without a lot of attention, and that’s the way I like it.

    I just wait for someone to scream if it breaks.

    Uptime Kuma monitoring anything I care about and notifying me via Matrix, or notifying me via email if it’s Matrix that’s down.

    Unraid has a table of the docker containers.

    I don’t need metrics or stats. I wouldn’t look at, or care about them anyway. Dashboards feel like tech enthusiast crap. Tech and resources for the sake of having tech. My services are to solve a problem, not look at metrics of.

    I don’t know how you guys function without some sort of visual. I will forget everything I’m running if it’s not on a dashboard of some sort. That’s not a maybe - it’s guaranteed. Because it’s happened before.

    I tried portainer for a while, but it was almost useless to me, as I’d always end up in the command line anyway. So I dropped that and any other dashboard idea.
