  • Open Media Vault won't let Raspberry Pi boot after installation
    1 project | /r/OpenMediaVault | 5 Dec 2023
    I am using a Raspberry Pi 4 model B. The actual problem I have is, after executing the command wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript/raw/master/install | sudo bash, the Pi shuts down as expected, but after trying to reboot it remains off (red light on and green light off). Trying to power it off and on again leads to the same result.

    The script is the same as this one https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript/blob/master/install you can check it if you not trust the source

    Not sure what you mean, you install Debian using the net install, just install ssh, then use the script to install OMV on top of Debian

    In cases like this the suggestion is to use the Debian NetInstall if the network card works then deploy OMV using the script here

    OMV-extras is easily installed via a script. It is designed to install OMV on top of Debian, but once it sees you already have OMV installed, it will just install OMV-extras (make sure sudo and wget are installed before running the script... apt install sudo wget)... https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript

    1 project | /r/OpenMediaVault | 9 Jul 2022
    Manual Debian install used to be kind of cumbersome, but OMV 6 has an install script that can be invoked with one line.

  • μMon: Stupid simple monitoring
    12 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 24 Sep 2023
    https://collectd.org/ does the gathering (and writing to RRDTool database, if you so desire) part very well. Many plugins, easy to add more (just return one line of text)

    Still need RRD viewere but that's not a huge stack

    And it scales all the way to hundreds of hosts, as on top of network send/receive of stats it supports few other write formats aside from just RRD files.

    Then you will have same problems but now you can bother manufacturer about it!

    Also unless there is something horribly wrong about how often data is written, that SSD should run for ages.

    We ran (for a test) consumer SSDs in busy ES cluster and they still lasted like 2 years just fine

    The whole setup was a bit of overcomplicated too. RAID10 with 5+1 or 7+1 (yes Linux can do 7 drive RAID10) with hotspare woud've been entirely fine, easier, and most likely faster. You need backups anyway so ZFS doesn't give you much here, just extra CPU usage

    Either way, monitoring wait per drive (easy way is to just plug collectd [1] into your monitoring stack, it is light and can monitor A TON of different metrics)

    Collectd pulls metrics from the OS, applications, logfiles and external devices for use in monitoring systems, finding performance bottlenecks and capacity planning. hombre_sabio explains, "Collectd is a tiny daemon that gathers information from a system. It enables mechanisms to collect and observe the values in different techniques. It is an open-source monitoring tool to retrieve and manage SNMP master agents."

  • CPU Performance of a docker minecraft java server on Raspberry Pi 4
    4 projects | /r/admincraft | 4 Oct 2021
    For metrics storage I'm using a Graphite database and the graph UI itself is Grafana. To get these I'm using the Debian repos they supply with mostly off-the-shelf configs. For collecting metrics from the Pi to send to Graphite I use collectd. It has a lot of off-the-shelf plugins you can use to grab metrics like CPU usage & load average, network in/out, memory stats etc. The Minecraft-specific stuff you can get from configuring collectd plugins as well, like the tick lag graph I use the "tail" plugin to follow and parse the server log.
  • Lightweight alternative to Grafana
    2 projects | /r/selfhosted | 29 Mar 2021
    For monitoring, personally I use collectd and Collectd Graph Panel (sadly the latter is abandoned, but it still works fine)

What are some alternatives?

When comparing installScript and Collectd you can also consider the following projects:

packages - omv-extras .deb releases

Telegraf - The plugin-driven server agent for collecting & reporting metrics.

prometheus - The Prometheus monitoring system and time series database.

Collectl - Extending collectl to send process data to graphite

Statsd - Daemon for easy but powerful stats aggregation

Diamond - Diamond is a python daemon that collects system metrics and publishes them to Graphite (and others). It is capable of collecting cpu, memory, network, i/o, load and disk metrics. Additionally, it features an API for implementing custom collectors for gathering metrics from almost any source.

Ganglia - Ganglia Web Frontend

Packetbeat - :tropical_fish: Beats - Lightweight shippers for Elasticsearch & Logstash

tcollector - Data collection framework for OpenTSDB

Facette - Time series data visualization software

Grafana - The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.

openobserve - 🚀 10x easier, 🚀 140x lower storage cost, 🚀 high performance, 🚀 petabyte scale - Elasticsearch/Splunk/Datadog alternative for 🚀 (logs, metrics, traces, RUM, Error tracking, Session replay).
