Hey, I’m in the way of building my homelab already thinking of some apps to run on it… Truenas in a VM, a Debian VM to run docker. And on this point, do you a have some docker apps recommandations? Write down all the apps that worth looking at them 👇👇

    I’ve heard of zabbix but what’s the difference with Grafana? If I’ve understand Tubearchivist is a self-hosted “YouTube app”? And how useful is a XMPP server?

      Zabbix collect all the data (for exemple, cpu usage, memory usage, disk space etc…) Grafana take this data from zabbix and display it, You can create dashboards with only the useful data you need!

      TubeArchivist is indeed “selfhosted youtube” but more importantly it’s more of a Youtube Backup, if you watch a lot of content on there, like me, you know that videos gets deleted all the time, and archiving videos that you like is really important (at least if some videos means a lot to you, like me)

      And a XMPP server is just a self-hosted messaging/calls service that works like email and is decentralized. I’m not that familliar with it yet, but i’m loving the concept

        While dashboards are nice to look at, I very much prefer to just configure Zabbix to only notify me in case of actual problems and leave me alone the rest of the time. 😉 Also, Zabbix has capabilities to show graphs and create dashboards as well. No need for Grafana here.

          Alerting is good too yes!

          But when you have multiple Datasource, grafana is great to cross the data and see everything at once, plus Grafana dashboard are better looking imo!
