Sounds plausible. Thank you for your time and response.

I was asking in the generic sense, not directly related to the above issue, but thank you.

Don’t leave your lunch outside laying on the sidewalk
I get that. It would seem tho, you could make the file immutable with

Done. Standing by to stand by.
Thank you!

For the Tor operators, how to you mitigate the risks associated with what’s being trafficked across your network?
- Comment on I've been working on a guide to Pocket alternatives 2 days ago:
I understand that. It’s quite a popular place in the selfhosting/homelabbing/opensource world.
- Comment on I've been working on a guide to Pocket alternatives 3 days ago:
I would agree. If you are going to cite alternatives, an easy to read comparison chart would be very helpful.

Just to say, even tho I do not have an immediate use case, the demo is very nice. It looks very polished and professional. Everything seemed to fit together nicely. I have bookmarked it in my /future_projects/ folder.
- Comment on Suggestions for crowdsec + caddy + docker setup 3 days ago:
I’m probably telling you wrong, but I’ve only been able to do the cs-blocklist-mirror and firewall-bouncer. There are a bunch of the scenarios that are remediation components. If you look at something like cs-cloudflare-worker-bouncer, well I don’t have a use for the cs-cloudflare-worker-bouncer remediation component, so that doesn’t get installed. Same for remediation components like cs-aws-waf-bouncer. So yes, there are unlimited remediation components, just not all will fit your use case. As I understand it, you can even write your own, tho I’ve not dabbled in that aspect.
If all you want to do is look at Docker logs and the occasional syslog, then I would think Dozzle to be quite capable in conjunction with something along the lines of lnav.

Hey you never know. Could be the next big thing: Focker by Mo’Fugger Industries.
- Comment on Pihole + Unbound Docker Compose file 3 days ago:
I’ve heard of Docker, Incus, k8s, VM, but not Focker. Is this some new containerization software?
- Comment on Suggestions for crowdsec + caddy + docker setup 4 days ago:
On the free plan, you should be able to set up 2 remediation components, 4 blocklists, and a variety of scenarios. For the scenarios, I’d only install what you have need for.
As far as logs, I personally think something more along the lines of Grafana+Loki_Alloy for logs and metrics. You could even use something like lnav. Lnav is simple to install. It’s not a dialed out dashboard of metrics, rather it keeps things simple. After install, to access it simply type lnav and the log location you wish to view:
lnav /var/log/auth.logorlnav /var/log/syslogin the cli.I really tried with logging aps like ELK, Graylog, etc. I found them to be quite heavy for my environment. They certainly do have all the bells and whistles and pretty graphics, but again, it comes down to what can your server run comfortably. I didn’t want to eat up 2/3 of my resources just to look at logs. The Grafana+Loki+Alloy combo really sips the resources. I think for all I have Grafana monitoring, it clocks in at around 2+/- gb in used resources.
- Comment on Pihole + Unbound Docker Compose file 4 days ago:
0K that’s cool. I love docker. I would like to upgrade to k8s but I haven’t yet plumbed the depths of docker. I was just with the overhead of docker, since Pi-Hole/Unbound is a dedicated system, I thought maybe it’d get better thru put baked in. I wouldn’t listen to me tho, I’m medicated.
- Comment on Pihole + Unbound Docker Compose file 5 days ago:
How well does that run in docker? I’ve always liked docker, but it seems to me that certain apps should touch metal than be containerized. Maybe I’m too old school.
- Comment on how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days? 5 days ago:
My problem is that I cannot find a selfhosting solution that has the nuts to spool up 80k+ hi-res, original sourced, flac files that reside on two 10TB drives through my ancient technology. MusicBee is the closest thing I’ve come across, but that is local, and it struggles. I stay around the compound now days so local is ok, but it would be nice to stream out on the back porch without cranking my stereo to 11 so I can hear. I have bluetooth options but range is an issue.

As cool and neato as I find AI to be, I haven’t really found a good use case for it in the selfhosting/homelabbing arena. Most of my equipment is ancient and lacking the GPU necessary to drive that bus.
- Comment on It's Gonna Be A Good Day, 'Tater 1 week ago:
But I know what the answer is and it’s not as exciting as I’d like it to be.
At least you would know, and you would learn something new as I have done. I have set up to monitor syslogs, ufw logs, assorted metrics so far. I’m going to tackle using cAdvisor and ingest the data into Prometheus and display such data on my Grafana dash.
It’s fun and educational. Try it. At the very least when you’ve worn all the new off, you can just delete the docker containers.

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I read up on it about an hour ago. Of course, just as I finally get things running, they switch horses. le sigh…c’est la vie
- Comment on It's Gonna Be A Good Day, 'Tater 1 week ago:
Thank you for the reply. I guess I am thinking, why have multiple Prometheus instances running, eating up resources, when I could do it with just one.
- Comment on It's Gonna Be A Good Day, 'Tater 1 week ago:
I have a follow up question about cadvisor, if you have a minute. Cadvisor employ Redis and Prometheus. If I understand correctly, you configure Prometheus to scrape Docker logs. All fine and good. However, my Grafana stack already employs Prometheus to do the same, just for syslogs and such, but not Docker. Can I not place the contents of the Cadvisor/Prometheus config in the existing Prometheus implementation used with Grafana, or does Cadvisor need it’s own Prometheus instance.

alloy
I was just commenting that I’m going to have to figure out how to migrate to Alloy now as Prom is nearing it’s eol.
- Comment on It's Gonna Be A Good Day, 'Tater 1 week ago:
It was like running windows. The more I fed it, the more it belched and devoured more. LOL Now I see that I am going to have to figure out Grafana Alloy, as Prom is nearing it’s eol in '26. Le sigh… that’s the way it goes.
- Comment on It's Gonna Be A Good Day, 'Tater 1 week ago:
Huh. I don’t know anything about that. I wonder if it’s because Grafana hooks into more sensitive points on your server and that triggers VT.
