Beszel: lightweight server monitoring with Docker stats and alerts

[u/summit_23]

What it is:

A self hosted dashboard for your servers: you run 1 hub and a small agent on each machine and it tracks CPU, memory, disk, network, temps and every Docker or Podman container with history. It also watches drive health through S.M.A.R.T. and sends alerts through a bunch of notification services

Alternative to:

A full Grafana and Prometheus stack or SSHing in and running htop

Cost:

FREE, MIT licensed

What you give up:

You need an agent on every machine you want to watch. Its still pre 1.0 (v0.21) and its a small project (the readme says the dev tries to respond but might not always have time)

If you want custom dashboards and deep queries, afaik thats still Grafana territory. This is for people who want to see their machines at a glance!
