This post walks through deploying Beszel, a lightweight Prometheus-style monitoring stack, using Docker. You’ll set up the Beszel panel, configure monitored hosts, install the Agent, and manage it via systemd. The guide also covers S3 backup support and Docker stats collection, making it a compact alternative to a full Prometheus setup.

This post benchmarks Lash JP’s Japan VPS offering based on a Xeon E5‑2680v4 platform with a 512MB RAM / 5GB NVMe / 2TB@1G configuration. It uses pure international routes with no mainland China optimization, China Unicom direct and partial China Mobile direct. Local bandwidth is strong, cross‑region downstream is weak, disk I/O hovers around 50MB/s, and recent DDoS incidents cause occasional disconnects, leading to an overall average impression.
