Hi all. I just set-up my first self-hosting server with NextCloud, Immich and a VPN server. I was wondering if there is a tool or layer of tools which would help me monitor my server and the services including running stats, resource usage stats, system logs, access logs, etc?

I read that Grafana Loki along with Prometheus could possibly help me with this. I just wanted to ask that - should I explore these two tools or do we have some other and better(suiting to my needs) tools? Please recommend Open Source tools only. Preferably Docker, or Linux based otherwise. Thank you :))

    This isn’t specific to just netdata, but I frequently find projects that have some feature provided via their cloud offering and then say “but you can also do it locally” and gesture vaguely at some half-written docs that don’t really help.

    It makes sense for them, since one of those is how they make money and the other is how they loose cloud customers, but it’s still annoying.

    Shoutout to healthcheck.io who seem to provide both nice cloud offerings and a fully-fledged server with good documentation.
