Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

I used to. It's really complicated and not big in the self hosted space.
I'd recommend the standard Prometheus, alert manager, and grafana stack instead. That's what I use now, and although yaml sure is something, at least there's tons of people to copy.
Zabbix is more powerfull for complex alerting scenarios and has better agent-based monitoring, while Prom/Grafana excels at metrics visualzation and integrates better with containers - they're actually complementary depending on what you're monitoring.
What is complicated in Zabbix?
I use it at home, as a test environment as I brought it to 2 workplaces. I have a mysql VM and a front end VM.
It's still on my to-do list.
have it on dietpi (pi 4) + tailscale at home to monitor my dedics
