  • Start off simple, use something like uptime-kuma just to check your services are available - takes minutes to set up and can send you notifications when something goes down. It can plug into docker directly to check if a container is up, as well as perform HTTP checks that the service is responding, plus some other cool stuff.

    (Side note, I set up ntfy to handle notifications and it’s great! Another solid recommendation but you can use discord web hooks or whatever as well)

    The other options described here are good for gathering and visualising data, but it takes quite a bit to set them up and even more to configure the right kinds of alerts to notify you when something is wrong. A simple “is this docker container running” check or a “does this respond with a http 200” check gets you like 95% the way there.




  • This is a "slippery slope’ argument and thus a fallacy.

    Let users decide how they want to run their own stuff. Right now if you have Plex pass this isn’t an issue. If it becomes an issue, then you’re in the exact same position you’d be in today if you decided to move away from Plex now.

    I moved away from Plex years ago, but I don’t blame users for sticking with it, it still has a lot of advantages over jellyfin.

    EDIT: Y’all are trippin’ over yourselves to complain about what other people choose to deploy on their own hardware.

    Please don’t tell me what I am focusing on, when I haven’t even said it

    I literally quoted you, so don’t try playing the “I never actually said that” card.

    It’s ironic that you’re now complaining about context and strawmen when you yourself started it with the whole “anyone who wants to know who you are…” argument. This mysterious “anyone” is the ultimate strawman because they’re anonymous and all encompassing. Meanwhile, you have zero idea what anyone wants from their VPN’s so you’re making the broad, sweeping statements while lacking any context yourself.

    A dumb take is, to pay for something you might get nothing from

    And which VPN provider is it you’re getting “nothing” from? There seems to be a budding market for VPN’s out there, lots of people are paying for them and continue to do so, why do you think that is? Because the whole world is stupid and it’s a pointless waste of money? Or because they are actually in fact getting some kind of use from them?

    VPN’s have a myriad of uses, you’re focusing on some ambiguous nation-state attacker tracking you down for whatever reason. Meanwhile, quite a lot of users would just like to watch porn without having to submit ID. I’d say they’re getting plenty of use out of their VPN for that.
