I switched from keepass to vaultwarden years ago and for my usage I wouldn’t switch back.

I needed to be able to share some passwords with other people. I think the clients are much better. I like having a website available as a backup to access a password. All in one package that works well so I don’t need separate mechanism to synchronize between different installations. I like the easy sharing secrets through links and not having to send in cleartext with emails or texts.

And for selfhosting I like that you only need the server only for syncing newly added secrets - if vaultwarden had to be online always I’d switch back.

https://github.com/plankanban/planka was more competent than it looked a few years ago, might be even better now.

Sorry, 70 degrees, not 80. The load was fine. It’s a machine to test things, but I kept using checkmk since I really liked it. All on one server, both monitor server and all clients.It’s an old workstation - it runs around 60 degrees normally.

That said, it could very much be a config issue, I installed with the ansible role and left most everything as default. A very easy installation, and with ansible very easy to add new hosts to monitor as well. I’m up to 36 now, including some docker containers.

I switched back to 1 minute to test, and is warned for temp within 20 minutes, from 60 degrees to hovering around 70. Load from 2 to 3.5, threads from 1k to 1.2k all on the physical side. There’s also a small change in IO that seems to be the checkmk server writing more to disk - the cpu on that host is only slighty.

I’m guessing that the temp going over is hardware related, a better fan might fix that issue.

I don’t know if the load/thread increase is reasonable, but given the amount of checks done in the agent I’m perfectly OK with giving those resources to have all the data points checkmk collects available. It’s helped a lot being able to go into details to see what’s going on, checkmk makes that so easy.

I opted for checkmk as well and don’t want to switch. It’s got a good default for Linux monitoring and it will tell me about random things to fix after reboots, or that memory/disc is getting low so I can fix it quickly.

When monitoring 15 virtual machines on one physical the default of checking every minute for all machines raised the temp over 80 degrees Celsius on the physical machine and triggered a warning. Checking every five minutes is more that I need, so I went with that change.
