## Best for

Homelab and small-server owners who want simple monitoring without Prometheus.

## Why it deserves attention

Beszel runs a small hub and per-server agents, then shows CPU, memory, disk, network, Docker container stats, and uptime history in a clean dashboard. It sends alerts when thresholds are crossed and stores history in SQLite, so a single container is enough for a homelab. It is MIT-licensed with 26,000 GitHub stars and supports Linux, macOS, and Windows agents. It is not a full metrics platform: custom dashboards, long retention, and complex alerting belong to Prometheus or Grafana.
