    Very strange prices. 5 servers for $5 but 10 for $20? WTF. It's more profitable to create few accounts and buy a plan for $5 ...

    Startup plan price is 10$ for 5 servers, not 5$ for 5 servers: https://fivenines.io/#pricing

    Beautiful!
    Sadly I missed the promo. Just a few hours late....

    Feedbacks:
    1. It installs too many dependencies. Even GCC?

    1. Creating a new user with a home folder at /home/fivenines/ might be considered a harmful action. Maybe try to use /opt/fivenines/?

    GCC is required to compile psutil which is a dependency of the agent but we could use the psutil wheel indeed to speedup the setup and reduce the number of packages installed.

    Indeed, I'm thinking about that, could really help to make it work with SELinux BTW.

    SELinux is really pain in the a** lol

    I've created 2 issues in your github repo for further discussion, and maybe I can help a bit there. Do you accept PRs?

    Well this stuff looks nice but I'm a bit worried about the size of the app if we have to include a Python runtime but we could give it a try :)

    It looks really nice, and I really like almost all of it, but...

    The following NEW packages will be installed:
  binutils binutils-common binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu cpp cpp-13 cpp-13-x86-64-linux-gnu cpp-x86-64-linux-gnu gcc gcc-13 gcc-13-base gcc-13-x86-64-linux-gnu gcc-x86-64-linux-gnu libasan8

  python3-argcomplete python3-pip-whl python3-platformdirs python3-psutil python3-setuptools-whl python3-userpath python3-venv python3.12-venv

    That's the dependencies for just the agent! It would have been ok if it was the complete server backend, still a bit on the heavy side but acceptable, but for just the agent that is just insane. I'm a terrible programmer but I'm pretty sure I could accomplish what this agent does with a fraction of those dependencies.

    I go to great lengths to keep my servers lean and clean, there is no way I can justify installing this when Hetrix manages to do the same thing with literally just bash.
    It's a shame, I really liked the look and feel of everything.

    I got your point, I will try to reduce agent footprint in the coming days, thanks for your feedback.

  • skippyskippy Member

    Had a little glitch installing the agent. The service would not start. I poked around and found that the binaries were missing. I ran the script again and it was fixed.

    Don't worry about the size bro. One big file is better than 10s of random smaller unknown packages (which means 100x files). lol
    I have a same script here https://github.com/bluet/proxybroker2/blob/master/.github/workflows/py-to-exe.yml

    BTW, we usually don't install gcc on production environments for security reasons.

    I totally agree with this.
    I would take a single big file over a list of dependencies any day. Installing a bunch of packages increases the risk of broken dependencies or something failing after one of the packages get upgraded.
    Also, as someone mentioned, having a bunch of third party packages installed on production servers is a security issue, a lot of people do not like that.

    @bluetorg is doing a tremendous job right now to package it in a single binary, will ping you once it's ready ;)

    Gonna give it a try I currently use hetrixtools but a newer UI could be good to try out, do you plan on always having free tier at 1 monitor available ?

  • spuyetspuyet Member, Patron Provider

    @wuck Nice, glad to have your feedback :)

    Yeah free plan will stay at 1 monitor but will always include the same level of features than other plans.

    Agent is open source but backend is not indeed.

    For Redis monitoring, why does the password have to be sent to your server?

    @Obelous said:

    That's a good question :)

    I didn't want end users to have to configure anything on server side (like a file containing config for the agent stored on the server), I like the fact that you just copy/paste one command and it works out of the box.

    But I understand your concern about security, I can rethink these integrations (nginx and redis).

    haha yeah I didn't put efforts on supporting other architecture but if there is interest, I can definitely work on it. Which architecture are we talking about ? ARM ?

    Does this service monitor for when outdated or vulnerable packages are installed?
