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 use Ultimate Updater connected to gotify to tell me which machines have updates with a noti every day. I can then run update and it will take snapshots and upgrade everything when needed.

It really only does linux systems and wont do docker, but there's watchtower (the one that's still alive) to do that.

Had a look at that, sounds pretty cool. Curious to know why you linked to a fork that is out of date and not to the original at https://github.com/BassT23/Proxmox

TBH I just did a quick web search on my phone and picked the first one. Apologies.

No stress, just making sure there wasn't some other reason for it. Cheers
