Monit

Lightweight process and system monitoring daemon

About Monit

Monit is a small Unix daemon that monitors processes, files, and services on a host and can restart them automatically when they fail. Self-hosting it on a small server, NAS, or VPS keeps the service available on your terms and makes backups and migrations straightforward. That makes it a practical fit for homelab users, small teams, and organizations that value privacy, ownership, and predictable costs over time.
