Brief

The author runs an observability stack (Grafana, Prometheus, Loki) giving every app health dashboards and metrics as a free DataDog-like solution. They store Obsidian notes in a full DuckDB via Obsidian LiveSync for instant synchronization, and they use Tailscale to maintain secure, global access to their cluster.

Why it matters

Uses Grafana, Prometheus and Loki to provide health dashboards and metrics for all apps — positioned as a free alternative to DataDog.

Key details

  • Runs Obsidian LiveSync backed by a full DuckDB instance to store Obsidian notes and provide instant live-sync across devices.
  • Uses Tailscale to securely connect to the cluster from anywhere in the world.
