Hi guys,
I just released a new version of MinMon. If you're looking for a minimalistic tool for monitoring and alarming, check out the documentation and give it try! And even more important: please leave some feedback as I'll have some spare time next month to - hopefully - make v1.0 happen, or at least v0.6.
Cheers!

Thanks for sharing! I'll definitely be looking into adding this to my infra alerting stack. Should pair well with webhooks using ntfy for notifications. Currently just have bash scripts push to uptime-kuma for disk usage monitoring as a dead man trigger, but this should be better as a first-line method. Not to mention all the other functionalities it has baked in.

Edit: Would also be great if there was an already compiled binary in each release so I can use bare-metal, but the container on ghcr.io is most-likely what I'll be using anyway. Thanks for not only uploading to docker hub.

Definitely going to give this a try

Very cool! I like the idea of a less-weird Monit. I might try this on some one-off servers later…

[-] TCB13@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Why do you think Monit is weird?

[-] nbailey@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

The config dsl syntax is a bit strange, can’t run a script on “recovery”, but it’s generally not bad honestly. I use it on loads of servers as a monitoring-tool-of-last-resort if the main system fails.

Nice job. I'm definitely going to evaluate this next week.

[-] pacoboyd@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Will be checking this out, thanks!

"Simple, clean, bloat-free" -- proceeds do use Docker lol.

[-] derevar@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago

In my opinion docker is simple. And only one dependancy is quite bloat-free in my book as well. :)

[-] TCB13@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Bloat free is a single compiled binary that runs anywhere!!

[-] mim 6 points 1 year ago

You can always compile it, it's just a single cargo command. 🤷‍♂️

[-] TCB13@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

But oh yes, cool project :)

[-] float@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

That's actually not a bad idea. There are a few downsides to this like the binary being quite big compared to the classical "one binary per architecture" style. I'll give it a though. The docker image is pretty small btw ;).

[-] TCB13@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The docker image is pretty small btw ;).

Yes if you already have Docker. If don't use Docker you'll be installing a ton of stuff just for a single application.

[-] TCB13@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You can simply not bundle typical libraries that are available in most systems and let package managers deal with those.

[-] float@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I think the dependencies might actually be a problem for the "one binary fits all" solution. For a simple binary the user is responsible for the external dependencies. If by any chance you're using Arch, there a package in the AUR.
