I started this as sort of a joke (Grafito is like Grafana, but chiquitito) and it turned out to be a fairly useful little tool!
Basically: it exposes your linux’s logs via web, with a nice, simple UI.
Just a few hundred lines of Kemal and HTMX, I expect it to get some users from the r/selfhosted crowd after I polish it a bit more
A couple more days and it’s now pretty feature complete, looks nicer and has a website: https://grafito.ralsina.me
Now with a live demo (all-fake data courtesy of GitHub - askn/faker: Faker is a Crystal library that generates fake data for you and a compile-time flag)
Hi @ralsina, I think the application will be useful. For example, I tried to use it as a lightweight solution for serving logs of an application deployed as a rootless podman container, and it mostly worked. Do you think it is possible to add OpenID Connect authentication with PKCE? I mean, redirecting an unauthenticated user to a configured provider, for example, Keycloak, then verifying the GWT token they got?
Sure it’s possible but why?
In any case, that sort of thing should be a shard.
I believe with more advanced authentication, the program will be more usable in enterprise projects.
Enterprise projects probably use datadog or (if they are running it in house) logstash.
There was a new release some weks ago that adds (optional!) AI assistance. If you have a z.ai API key (they are free for the cheap model!) you can ask it for help with an error, and it does a surprisingly good job, too.
