Recently a service went down and I didn’t notice for quite a while so now I’ve got a bunch of missing data. What monitoring tools do you all use?

Where can I learn Docker fundamentals?
I jumped into Docker feet first a few months ago and have not had a real good time with it. Networking doesn’t make sense, I can’t ever seem to access config files without dropping to su -, all the tutorials and videos I find are pretty top level and assume the user already has a firm grasp on it.

For me, it was PhotoPrism. I used to be an idiot, and used Google Photos as my gallery. I knew that it was terrible for privacy but was too lazy to do anything about it. When Google limited storage for free accounts, I started looking for alternatives. Tried out a lot of stuff, but ended up settling on PhotoPrism....

Is there any service that can be selfhosted that is similar to the old rabb.it site?
For those that don't know, rabb.it was a site where you basically had a chatroom and a virtual pc that was shared to everyone in the room. It was used to get together and watch youtube/plex/netflix/whatever together, and everyone was able to control the browser on the virtual PC. I don't even think you needed to have an account...
