Side by side
Self-hosted image and video hosting software for running your own media sharing site with uploads, albums, user accounts and moderation.
An observability platform that ingests logs, metrics, traces and events, including OpenTelemetry, stores them compressed in object storage, and provides SQL queries and dashboards.
The open-source edition is AGPL and many features are reserved for paid licences, and running a public upload site brings moderation and legal duties.
It is AGPL-licensed with features split between the open-source and paid editions, and it is younger than Loki or the ELK stack.
