Having a central place to view or search through server logs is awesome. I’ve used Graylog in the past, but I’ve always felt it was a bit cumbersome to set up and use — and it felt overkill for my need.

Instead I gave Grafana Loki and Promtail a try 👇

All my homelab servers and containers send their logs to a local Graylog instance. I wanted my VPS to do that as well — but sending unencrypted logs over the internet is not a good idea.
