Beszel - The easiest monitoring solution you've probably never heard of for Windows, Linux and Mac!

Video Description

Beszel is a new, super lightweight and simple monitoring solution. In today's video, Alex will walk you through the process of setting up the Beszel Hub, adding it to your tailnet and monitoring servers all over the globe without opening a single port in your firewall. We'll also cover monitoring a Windows host for some GPU monitoring, via Beszel by running the agents as a native Windows service. Personal accounts are always free on Tailscale and can include up to 3 users and 100 devices. Get started today at https://tailscale.com/yt.

Sometimes though, all you want is a small, simple lightweight agent running on each host reporting back some basic metrics like temperatures, disk usage percentages, and the like. Enter Beszel. A simple, lightweight monitoring tool for your servers. It runs in docker or as a Go binary on your hosts. Join Alex in today’s video where he walks you through the process of setting up a monitoring solution for devices on your tailnet (our term for a Tailscale network of devices). Running Beszel is straightforward on Linux using docker or systemd. It also runs on Macs as a service using launchd. But Windows presented a more unique challenge as the agent isn’t designed to run as a native Windows service. Perfect for those of you wanting an easy GPU monitoring solution, whether you’re running video games or at the latest AI models with Ollama. === Chapters: 00:00 - Start 02:16 - Beszel Hub 14:56 - Beszel Clients 31:12 - Multi-Continent Monitoring
