Step 4. NASA builds planes that work (on the side).

Did you also check out GoToSocial? It’s a very light Mastodon-compatible server, but comes without a user-facing GUI. So you need to use a client app.

However, I don’t know whether it can be easily migrated to from Mastodon.

Grafana and Prometheus are great if you have numeric things you want to monitor. CPU usage, RAM, disks, throughput, etc. You can then do lots of things with these numbers, mainly compare them to your other systems or alert when they go out of bounds.

However, I very much prefer Zabbix for my home network monitoring as this is not so fixated on numbers but can easily work with e.g. error messages in logfiles and alert on those. Or I can regularly check a website for new firmware versions and alert once the latest version changes. There are also lots of ready-to-use templates available from their Community Hub.

OpenHub is vaguely working like this. It is meant to accumulate all your development work throughout the Internet. E.g. my profile there looks like this:

Yes! And if it gets too complex for simple checkboxes and formulas, there are a few places where you can enter JavaScript into a textbox. But it’s all inside the web GUI. No need to fiddle with files on the server.

Switched from CMK to Zabbix at my previous job. Zabbix is far more comfortable and has all the same possibilities that CMK has. But you can setup everything in the web GUI and don’t need to reload anything.
