It's the most approachable open-source monitoring tool available — designed for developers who want to monitor endpoints without learning Prometheus's data model or managing a cluster.

There were many attempts to fix this issue by changing cgroup isolation settings using flags like --cgroupns=host etc ,but nothing worked. Similar outcomes were also obtained by other attempts like these. https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/16238

k3s: You run the control plane on an EC2 instance. It starts in under a minute, ships with Traefik and a working storage class, and upgrades when you decide. Nothing AWS-specific unless you want it.

coolify
An open-source, self-hostable PaaS alternative to Vercel, Heroku & Netlify that lets you easily deploy static sites, databases, full-stack applications and 280+ one-click services on your own servers.
Install Coolify (free, open source) on a VPS and deploy Memos from its catalog. You get a web UI and auto-updates, but Coolify itself wants ~2 GB of RAM, which is heavier than the app it is managing. Worth it only if you are already running Coolify for other apps.

Docker-OSX

-
it reminds me of https://github.com/dockur/windows with its compose-style YAML over QEMU/KVM. The difference i'm seeing is scope: dockur ships curated OS images (Windows/macOS), while holos looks more like a generic single-host VM runner. Is that a fair read? also curious any plans to support running unattended processes for OS installs?

plane
🔥🔥🔥 Open-source Jira, Linear, Monday, and ClickUp alternative. Plane is a modern project management platform to manage tasks, sprints, docs, and triage.
Project mention: 5 Open Source Alternatives Worth Considering Before Renewing Expensive SaaS Tools | dev.to | 2026-04-10Jira renewals are one of the most expensive recurring line items for engineering teams, and the justification for the price tag has gotten weaker as the product has accumulated features most teams never use. Plane is an open source project management platform that covers issues, sprints, cycles, and roadmaps with a clean interface that feels built in the last few years rather than the last two decades. The source is on GitHub and the self-hosted install runs on any Docker host.
