Managing proxmox, virtual machines, and others (programming.dev)

Hey all, just hoping to get some advice on any software out there that can help me keep on top of all the VMs i'm running on my Proxmox instances, and potentially my other machines I have too.

I'm looking for a way to help me stay on top of updates and things like when the machine was last online, last rebooted etc etc. There are commercial products for such a thing, and I don't necessarily want to install any sort of Agent on each of the machines (if I can avoid it).

I looked at something like Homarr, but not sure if that's what i'm really after.

What recommendations do all you have?

I run debian on everything, so I set up unattended-upgrades for security updates and basically forget about it. Docker updates are also automatic with Komodo, just make sure databases are pinned to a major version.

For monitoring my services I use Uptime Kuma, and get an alert if a service goes down so I can fix it.

Been pretty solid for years now. Things get rebooted every month or two when I do a Proxmox upgrade and reboot the host.
