• OpenRC is a dependency-based init system for Unix-like systems

  How does it compare to Runit[[0] used by Void Linux? [0]http://smarden.org/runit/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• SystemD vs Runit. Just a suggestion, not fight.

  Still, I can try to give you a rundown of Runit. Essentially, it's an init system that uses init scripts, but it has a bit more structure to improve on the shortcomings of sysvinit. Much like systemd, it also does service management, although in a much less involved way. Like with sysvinit, the task of logging is left to a separate process, though it has its own logging daemon, if you wish to use it (as logging... Source: about 1 year ago

• What manages systemd?

  PID 1 is special. It's the init. Instead of System V init, you can use OpenRC, runit, systemd, s6, or others. Source: over 2 years ago

• How do I use rc.d? and service management in general for KISS

  Of course the original creator's document is great too: runit - a UNIX init scheme with service supervision. Source: almost 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: about 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. So I set out to create my own super lightweight M/Monit alternative, one that would Simply alert me of any issues with my Monit instances, and then I... Source: almost 2 years ago

• 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: about 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: almost 3 years ago
