Dang, that’s a lot of seperate parts for 1 “simple” task
Agree, but this setup allows for a lot of expansion and cuatomization. I’m sure there are simpler tools that tell you your computer status, and it’s up to you to see which fits more your use-case.
but just seems like there could be an easier way
I’ve felt that way before. But in this case of node-exporter and Prometheus, it’s way simpler. You don’t even need Docker, and the installation for both tools is basically a single line that you can copy and paste from their documentation.
Configuring Prometheus to accept node-exporter is a bit harder I admit, but again you can simply copy and paste the documentation example. The whole procesos takes like ~10 minutes if you follow the documentation.

Prometheus+Grafana is my go-to. You can also add Drilldown plugin to Grafana and it will monitor Docker logs.
Prometheus is incredibly versatile and widely used, so a lot of projects support metrics export to it, so IMO is your safest blind bet.
For even more custom behaviour, you can create very simple Python scripts that send data to Prometheus.
- Comment on Looking for FOSS server monitoring UI 16 hours ago:
Prometheus is a metric scrapper, it just recollects metrics from either it’s own computer or another one. If you want to monitor something, you also need that something to publish metrics, so they can be scrapped by Prometheus.
Thus if you want to monitor even just a single computer, you need node-exporter to publish the metrics, and Prometheus to gather them. Then you can use Grafana to create beautiful dashboards (or use community’s), and even add alarms to it.

Saaaame. And the online lobbies were such a blast. Good music, people somehow with colorful names, encouraging chat, 0 toxicity and random but good tracks.

- Comment on What are you using n8n for? 1 month ago:
I’ve done some of that stuff in Python, and n8n is just lovely, far simpler. You can also add a node that runs Python code in n8n, so you only gain simplicity, but lose almost nothing.

Fun unlockables by doing some cheat.
Imagine telling a FIFA player that you used to be able to have a dog as referee by doing the Konami code. And it was not behind a fucking paywall.

Esports was never sustainable
I feel like Dota 2’s The International goes against your claim. It was the esports tournament with highest prize pool several years in a row, and it was funded almost exclusively by Dota 2 players buying The Battle pass. Valve removed battle pass like 2 years ago, but it’s still ocupies top 1 up to top 7 esports tournaments with highest prize pool: www.esportsearnings.com/tournaments.

- Comment on Help with home server plan 3 months ago:
Thanks for the response. I have a question
Given the tight budget
I can increase the budget, but I though that $200USD would be enough to get me starter, given that the 200 don’t include the drives. If I were to increase it, what would you recommend?
