Single-VPS Observability Stack
Prometheus, Grafana, Loki & Tempo behind HTTPS
One docker compose up gives you a secured, persistent, backed-up observability stack on a single VPS — no Kubernetes.

// tested
Tested, not just written
Every release runs its full test suite against real tooling before it ships.
HTTPS through Caddy with the certificate chain verified
Grafana rejects admin/admin and accepts only the generated password; Prometheus is 401 without basic auth
Every scrape target up, every alert rule evaluating, every dashboard panel query returning data
A real alert travels Prometheus → Alertmanager → receiver on every release
Pro: backup → docker compose down -v → restore, with dashboards, metric history and logs all back
Studio: full disaster recovery from an empty directory and off-host restic storage

Questions
+Do I need Kubernetes?
No. This is a single VPS with Docker Compose. If you run Kubernetes, the Hardening Kit and OpenTelemetry packs fit better.
+Will it run on a 2 GB VPS?
Starter yes. Pro (logs and traces too) is comfortable at 4 GB, and Studio ships a sizing guide with the retention math.
+Can I monitor more than one server?
Yes, from Pro on: the remote agent pushes metrics and logs over HTTPS with basic auth. Studio adds one credential per host that you can rotate or revoke instantly.
+How are the backups verified?
The release suite creates a dashboard, backs up, destroys every volume, restores, then checks the dashboard, the metric history at its original timestamps and the logs are back.
+Can I use it for client work?
Starter and Pro are licensed for your own organization. Client and agency use requires Studio.
+Refunds?
If the stack doesn't come up on a supported Docker version and the troubleshooting guide doesn't fix it, contact us within 14 days for a refund.
