I write a tech and radio blog, if that's your schtick. If not, no worries. Post your rss feed when you're done!

They misspelled "backdoors."

I love avocados, but can't say I've ever liquified them then drizzle on toast...

The OIDC settings in the Authelia config reference were the most nebulous to me, but they weren't entirely stumping. The hard part was interpreting whether my errors stemmed from an issue on the client application side or on the Authelia side.

I would imagine you could likely extend the config snippets from my post to work in your situation with a few tweaks. The big lift, the OIDC provider is covered, so I'd be curious to hear what else you have to tweak!

Why the hell is the text tilted? Am I going crazy?

I rely heavily on grafana and Prometheus for metrics, but am not familiar with suzie-q, so I'll have to check that out. Agreed though, LibreNMS is great, even if a bit old school.

Hey good for you, that's awesome! My home network is also dual stacked.

You're right about the apples to oranges comparison, but it's not so wildly off, because the commentary is on adoption of new standards, regardless of bolt-on "fixes." Unauthenticated SNMP went through three revisions prior to adding authentication and encryption support.

And IPv6 was codified in RFCs and first addresses issued in 1999 but look where we are now. I'd bet your corporate network doesn't use IPv6 still. It's unfortunate, but sometimes the wheels of change are slow.

Nagios is a premium offering. They have some open source components, but the software model is absolutely not built around the spirit of GPL.

Zabbix is the obvious alternative in my mind, and it is AGPLv3, so absolutely in the same spirit as the LibreNMS license. It's a slightly different tool though, and less network-specific. Having used both, I prefer LibreNMS for specifically network monitoring, it's laid out to cater more to an ISP-type entity running it, and I like that. Zabbix still gets my wholehearted stamp of approval though.

Updated the post to reflect your feedback here. Thank you!

You are absolutely correct, thank you. Sadly a bunch of devices still don't support it, even in 2025 (like my microtik switch) for example. I will absolutely add a note about that though, thank you!

I absolutely have and used it for a while before landing on opensuse microos primarily. I absolutely see the benefit and enjoyed the git-centric nature, keeping flakes in repos with a flavor for each machine. What I didn't enjoy, however, was the seemingly poor documentation. Quite frankly too, the drama surrounding the community doesn't inspire confidence either. I decided I ought to try out guix but haven't gotten to it yet. I do actually still have one nixos VM that hosts some services for me and is built entirely on the concept of the impermanence flake. That was pretty cool.
