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.
- Set of cron jobs that check services, then send a Matrix message if there’s an issue. - For the cron jobs, I pipe - stderrto 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. 
- docker stats- With that command, I get all the stats I need, no dashboard required. 
- Never used a dashboard… I just manage my services on the cli with plain docker commands. 
- 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. 
- service still up = no problem 
 Can’t access service = problem, better ssh in- Simple as - If a service falls in a server and no one is around to hear it, does it actually matter? - Great way to find services you really don’t need to be running. 
- Restart-always - Then avoid looking at your log files
