https://video.elfhosted.com/videos/watch/435f15d2-426c-452f-98b9-a036fdd01b78 Beszel is lightweight server monitoring for your homelab. Hosted on ElfHosted, it watches from outside and tells you when a machine goes quiet. Run Beszel with ElfHosted, and the hub runs away from your own servers, so it's still awake to tell you when one of them goes quiet. Agents connect out to the hub's own secure address, so there is no port to open or forward at home, from a tiny board computer to a cloud server. We run the hub for you, keep it updated, and put your ElfHosted login in front. Beszel itself is the work of the Beszel project. What is Beszel? A lightweight server monitoring tool in two parts: a tiny agent on each machine, and a hub that collects CPU, memory, disk, network, temperatures and per-container stats, keeps the history, and alerts you when a system goes down or crosses a threshold you set. For homelab monitoring, send those alerts to ntfy, which runs on ElfHosted too. Hosted Beszel is part of the ElfHosted Flex collection: a Flex plan runs several apps from the collection at once, and you swap which ones whenever you like. Every Flex plan starts with a 7-day trial. It's backed up daily, and you can restore it yourself whenever you need to. If something's not right, Sam checks your apps, tells you what's wrong, and asks before fixing it. If Sam can't help, the ElfHosted team is on Discord around the clock, in a family-friendly, carefully moderated server. Beszel is open source; ElfHosted is not affiliated with the Beszel project. You can support Beszel's developer through the link below. It's one place for support for every app you run with us, handled by professionals, instead of a GitHub issue, docs that may be out of date, or yet another Discord per project. Unlike a generic chatbot, which guesses and overcomplicates, Sam is tuned on these apps and the way we run them: he safely reads your actual logs and proposes a fix, and nothing changes until you approve it.
