Armstrongvds: malý server is just VPS from InterServer, 2 core 4GB in Secaucus. I pay 6 USD. Ubuntu 22.04. Nothing special but for log testing is enough.
boot anything, anywhere, anytime
Reading server logs without going blind
InterServer still on Intel in Secaucus? I thought about them for ARM but no. Stuck with Hetzner for now, 3.79 EUR ARM in Finland. Watts matter more than colors when you run 24/7.
one small ping for man...

We run GoAccess in terminal for real-time. HTML report is nice for manager but for actual debugging I want ncurses, no mouse. Colors are configurable but honestly we just need the 4xx/5xx split fast.

PetraSuper: 6 USD is solid. My clients are on shared ResellerClub and I cannot even get them shell access, let alone lnav. I parse logs locally after scp. Pain.

Nina64: ncurses is love,,,,, GoAccess is good but I always fat-finger quit and lose my place,,,,, Lnav remembers position across sessions,,,,, That alone worth it,,,,,

12ms to Frankfurt, 180ms to everywhere I actually need.
Hetzner ARM is nice but their logs are in one timezone and my brain is in another. I just want everything in UTC and a tool that does not make me do math at 2am.
1ms or I don't want it

LichunLars: UTC or death. I have client in São Paulo, server in Miami, me in SP. Three timezones in one nginx line. I configure all servers to UTC and tell clients deal with it.
Bruno22: For find who attack
This still works. But now I use fail2ban and only check when something weird.
ping so high I wave back

CS student. My budget is small but my ambitions are unreasonable.
I run everything on a 5 CAD Oracle Cloud free tier. No color in their browser console, I download and use lnav. PetraSuper thanks for the alias idea, stealing that.

Minh1987: Which build exactly
Never got answer. Typical. I asked because I manage one Windows VM for client, Event Viewer is slow as Hanoi traffic and color or no color I still wait 30 seconds to open.
phở at 3AM, deploy at 4
If you want color and you have a lot of logs, try lnav with JSON output piped to jq. I know, I know, another tool. But for structured logs from Docker it's faster than parsing with awk.
