InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
If someone has to deal with dynamic IP addresses and wants to use dynamic DNS as well, there's also the pretty nice ddclient package: https://ddclient.net/
I've been using it with NameCheap pretty successfully for a while now, here's an example of some of the integrations it supports: https://ddclient.net/protocols.html (sadly no DigitalOcean integration as of yet, but this might be of use to others)
According to the Diataxis model of documentation [0], the linked project is a "reference", not a "guide".
It's a reference because it's information-oriented, and serves users who want to look up something based on category or keyword.
A "guide for getting started" would be a tutorial, serving the needs of the user who is at study. It should provide a successful learning experience.
The project would also benefit from "how-to guides", to serve the needs of the user who have a certain task in mind that they want to accomplish.
