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.

      i am un-admining

      Pretty much this. I just manually handle stuff when needed. I already work at IT so this feels quite liberating, the last thing I want is to annoy myself more, and the stuff I manage is not Critical™.

    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.

    I’m not, really. I run docker-compose and it runs. That’s it.

    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.

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

    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’ll notice it’s down when I try to access it and it doesn’t work. If it’s not down, there is nothing to manage 🙃

    I have documentation if I need to see everything at a glance. I don’t need a live-updating dashboard for that.

    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.

    Does dockge count as a dashboard?

    'Cause I use that to quickly check on what’s running, what’s stopped. Then I do most of my mainenance in a terminal, via SSH to the server.
