  • Why not use Tailscale on each device?

    No need to expose any ports, no need for a bastion, no need for any complicated method of retrieving their public IP address, can use ACLs to restrict their access to other devices on the tailnet (if they’re tech-savvy enough to go looking at the tailnet in the first place).

    Essentially, as long as they have internet and Tailscale is running, you’ll be able to connect to their device without exposing anything over the internet.












  • Prometheus for metrics

    Loki for logs

    Grafana for dashboards.

    I use node exporter for host metrics (Proxmox/VMs/SFFs/RaspPis/Router) and a number of other *exporters:

    • exportarr
    • plex-exporter
    • unifi-exporter
    • bitcoin node exporter

    I use the OpenTelemetry collector to collect some of the above metrics, rather than Prometheus itself, as well as docker logs and other log files before shipping them to Prometheus/Loki.

    Oh, I also scrape metrics from my Traefik containers using OTEL as well.
