Maintenant

Open http://localhost:8080 . Your containers are already there, with their health, restart loops, resources and logs. Nothing to configure.

Docker socket access is automatic: the entrypoint reads the mounted socket's group and grants it to the unprivileged user, on Compose and on Swarm (where docker stack deploy silently ignores group_add ). If containers do not show up, see Troubleshooting .

Endpoints, certificates and heartbeats work without any container runtime. Container monitoring switches on by itself the moment a runtime shows up. Install documentation for pinned versions, air-gapped installs and supply-chain verification.

Cloud : one cloud-init file boots a hardened host with maintenant running on Hetzner Cloud , DigitalOcean , Scaleway , OVHcloud or Vultr .

Monitoring your own infrastructure with the standard stack means running Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, node-exporter, cAdvisor, blackbox-exporter, a certificate exporter, Loki, Promtail, Trivy and something for image updates. Ten-odd components, each with its own config, upgrades and dashboards, to answer one question: is my stack up, and what is burning?
