Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You could use grafana loki to handle logs, it's similar to Prometheus so if you're already using that and/or grafana it's an easy setup and the API is really simple too.
I second this. Loki for logs, VictoriaMetrics for metrics―it's significantly more lightweight than ELK logging (and any lags are irrelevant for a homelab), and VM is similarly much more careful with RAM than Prometheus.
I did stumble on Grafana Loki in my search. Was trying to figure out if it was overkill. Is it fairly lightweight?
Much less intensive than an elasticsearch anything. I have Loki, grafana and 3 promtail clients running for my env (switched from Graylog/elasticsearch) and over the last few days Loki is sitting at 3GB memory and 8% CPU processing logs for about 6 devices.
Ok thanks. Looks like I can give it a try in docker.
