What is Beszel?

Beszel is a lightweight server monitoring platform with Docker statistics, historical data and alerts. Its README lists a friendly web interface, simple configuration, automatic backup, multi-user and OAuth sign-in, an API, disk health data and alerts through many notification services.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what Beszel does well

  • Track CPU, memory and network use for each container
  • Alerts when something needs attention
  • Smaller and lighter than larger monitoring tools

Cons: where it falls short

  • You must host it yourself
  • Only useful if you run servers

Who Beszel is for

Home-lab and small-team admins who want simple server monitoring.

Who can skip it

People who do not manage servers.
