pmm VS personal-server

For ongoing monitoring of query performance, I use Percona Monitoring & Management - it's query log provides an easy way to spot frequent queries that may need optimizing.

I cannot recommend PMM highly enough - it's free. You'll get a ton of insight into your DB's bottlenecks, and can use it to validate changes made.

I use the free, open-source tool Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) for monitoring and graphing.

i don't know if this is an idiom or not but at my workplace each go repo has a separate tools/ directory, which only has 3 files `tools.go` , `go.mod` and `go.sum` https://github.com/percona/pmm/tree/main/tools

Curious what monitoring solution you've used that's both plug-and-play and in IaC. And in any case, nothing stops you (I like this approach, actually) from running your monitoring solution in K8s. For DBs in particular, I'm a huge fan of PMM, which is a set of extremely thorough Grafana dashboards atop VictoriaMetrics, with some discovery tooling.

Our next project is Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM). This project is supported by Artem Gavrilov, Backend Software Engineer, and Nurlan Moldomurov, Full-Stack Engineer. PMM is a great project to contribute to during Hacktoberfest. There are minor and easy-to-do issues in Github; it is not necessary to register them in Jira. These contributions are welcome if you have any good ideas, want to improve something or simplify some process. Send your PR; the maintainers will review it as soon as possible. We also have advanced issues if you want to go for more advanced tasks.

Maybe not as beginner friendly as you would want but you can read my tutorial about my personnal server

I have a laptop i recently revived with some new memory, its currently running rocky linux and is using dynamic dns with VPN to stay connected to a cheap domain name i bought for this project. I'd like to set up K3S on this machine for learning purposes, i've been following this guide but i've been running into some issues. It might be the difference in operating system but i'm wondering if there's a better way to get started with k3s on a home server. I also saw this repo that includes a lot of extra stuff but that might be too much, too fast.

I haven't tested this in my own home setup, but supposedly this tool called WsTunnel has the ability to do what you've mentioned. https://github.com/erebe/personal-server#bypass-firewalls-with-wstunnel-

It's heavily based on https://github.com/erebe/personal-server
