Here’s a super simple guide, mostly for my own reference. It should help set up a dashboard viewable at a public URL, on a PC that can reboot at random times (for instance due to Windows updates.)

I’m not ashamed to admit it: I’m in love with Python. Even though it has this one really quirky bit that keeps annoying me – its packaging tools. Granted, it’s been improving a lot in the recent years, and there’s a ton of work in progress by the fine people at PyPA, but there’s still just so many cases where it’s inconsistent, or even just straight up silly (especially when you need to depend on private packages, and still want to be able to install your package with a simple pip install).

So, I think I reached a new milestone in my sysadmin career (I mainly identify as a developer, but am responsible for the infrastructure at Allmyles as well, currently.) The milestone I’m talking about is when you’re first hit with a downtime completely out of the blue, seeing some weird ‘Reached maximum number of open files’ error, or something similar.
