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.

+1 for Netdata
-1 for Netdata. I used it for a bit, but the configuration is not very intuitive and the docs for alerts were basically “rest of the fucking owl”, at least for the non-cloud version. I ended up just switching to Glances which is pretty boneless but it’s easy.
Though for OP I’d probably recommend Prometheus.
This isn't specific to just netdata, but I frequently find projects that have some feature provided via their cloud offering and then say "but you can also do it locally" and gesture vaguely at some half-written docs that don't really help.
It makes sense for them, since one of those is how they make money and the other is how they loose cloud customers, but it's still annoying.
Shoutout to healthcheck.io who seem to provide both nice cloud offerings and a fully-fledged server with good documentation.
