labwatch started because we wanted a monitoring tool that actually understands homelabs — not a watered-down enterprise solution.
Why labwatch exists
Enterprise monitoring tools assume you have a team, a budget, and homogeneous infrastructure. Homelabs are the opposite — a mix of Proxmox nodes, Docker containers, Raspberry Pis, and whatever hardware you found on eBay last week.
We built labwatch to be the monitoring tool we wished existed: a single lightweight agent that collects everything, a natural language interface so you can just ask what's wrong, and status pages you can actually share.
What we believe in
Open source first
The agent (MIT) and server (AGPL-3.0) are fully open source. Self-host for free, forever. No telemetry, no tracking, no vendor lock-in.
Simple by default
One binary, one command. No YAML configs to write, no dashboards to build, no queries to learn. Install it and it works.
Privacy respected
Your data stays on your infrastructure when self-hosted. Our managed service retains metrics for 48 hours only. We don't sell data.
Homelabs are real infra
Whether you're running media servers, game servers, or production workloads from home — your infrastructure deserves proper monitoring.
Tech stack
labwatch is built with boring, reliable technology.
Open source
labwatch is fully open source. The code is on GitHub — star it, fork it, contribute, or just read it to see how things work.
Support the project
labwatch is free to self-host and always will be. If it's useful to you and you'd like to support continued development, donations help cover infrastructure and development time.
