Because ELK is too heavy for my usecase
Because Splunk is too expensive
Because I wanted something KISS
Noop [0] is a cloud platform that runs entire application ecosystems (including edge routing) locally and deploys the same setups globally -- it's a departure from the plug and play paradigm of kubernetes, but it means a lot less integration work. Full disclosure, I work @Noop.
Don't you usually find tools to solve a problem, rather than the other way round? It sounds like you're literally asking for solutions looking for a problem.
Tailscale, and Headscale to fit your on-prem request.
I still run my own WireGuard server at home for getting on my internal LAN, but Tailscale for side projects is great.
Hurl ( https://hurl.dev ) for testing HTTP APIs.
And self-promotion a bit: https://github.com/link-society/flowg An easy to setup/use log processing facility:
Not sure about lesser known but my top tools are:
- Caddy server (Auto SSL, Dead simple Reverse Proxy) [0]
- mkcert(local SSL) [1]
- AWS Global Accelerator [2] (Static IP, Route traffic based on location) [2]

Honeycomb. Amazing observability tool and reasonably cheaper/better than alternatives.
Tailscale, Caddy.
I don’t think I could survive without Netbox
If you use Netbox, take a look at:
https://github.com/SaaShup/netbox-docker-plugin & https://github.com/SaaShup/netbox-docker-agent
I am one of the contributors, and we use it extensively at work. There are still a few quirks to iron out, but it's a really nice experience.
Aside from learning how to use it, is there any value for Netbox in a home lab?
Do you use the community edition or SaaS?

Tailscale Subnet routers

Totally fine to do. I have solutions for all sorts of stuff—doesn’t mean they’re good ones. Lets folks talk about stuff they’re stoked on.
