• Ansible vs Fabric

  Have a look on Rex - https://rexify.org, in addition to dsl like constructs it is just pure perl. It also doesn't need any dependencies on the managed host, just perl and ssh. Source: over 2 years ago

• Configuring netplan enabled hosts with Rex

  Since I feel that rex needs more attention, here is a small example from $work using rex. Needed to quickly reconfigure a number of Ubuntu hosts with netplan to use static ip addresses instead of DHCP. Source: about 3 years ago

• syncoid alerts: how are you all getting notified on sync failure/success/etc?

  I use Monit (https://mmonit.com/monit/) to manage syncoid operation, scheduling and alerts. This also assists with grouping of jobs and provides at-a-glance status on the M/Monit dashboard. Source: over 1 year ago

• monmon -- Monitor your monitoring with a Raspberry Pi (or, annoy yourself with a flashing light whenever you have issues with Healthchecks.io, Monit, or UptimeRobot!)

  I recently switched to Monit to keep tabs on my servers, and although I really like the Idea of M/Monit, a paid product that lets you monitor all of your Monit instances in one Place (as well as giving you extended functionality), I just couldn't justify the cost.

• Can no longer connect to protectli/opnsense device

  Using MONIT or ZABBIX plugins to set up email (text, etc) alerts for when power is switched to batter, or from battery to mains, or the device has recovered from a total power loss. And monitor and alert for other things like connection loss (WAN/LAN) and more. Source: over 2 years ago

• Monitor disk status with ssacli

  I like monit because it’s simple, and has an easy web interface. I use m/monit to aggregate all my servers into one interface. Source: over 2 years ago

• Finally got a landing page built for my little lab, after much inspiration from this sub!

  I'm only running Monit on my OPNsense box, because it lets you configure some really specific conditions to watch/ trigger notifications for, and that was important for my firewall. It's great, but I wish there was a decent UI like M/Monit, but open source. Source: about 3 years ago
