  • docker-swag

    Nginx webserver and reverse proxy with php support and a built-in Certbot (Let's Encrypt) client. It also contains fail2ban for intrusion prevention.

    I use this to monitor my reverse proxy (SWAG) and fail2ban logs in conjunction. It's not as streamlined as GoAccess, GrayLog, Grafana, etc . . . but it is very personal. I divide all my connections into three buckets: Home, Outside, and Known Devices; and fail2ban statistics are layered against the all connections.

  • BeatLog

    BeatLog parses NGINX reverse proxy and fail2ban logs into readable tables and reports. Use BeatLog to assess server traffic and tailor fail2ban filters.

    all docker images built via Github workflows

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • graylog

    Free and open log management

  • 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.
