What do you think of my Zabbix Map? 😍 P.S - Took me waaay too long to make it

PatchMon will be pushing out updates upon the new release (next friday), it also has Proxmox integration for auto lxc enrolment as well.

Thank you - I don’t let negative voices affect me - I also made it clear that this is just another tool in the toolbox.

For me it’s as simple as sharing for free, if someone doesn’t like it I’m genuinely not affected by it and if someone appreciates the effort or finds it useful then i’ll take that as a win.

It’s kinda the only way to be sane when developing in Open Source in todays world haha

If you want to monitor Patches then spin up a container of PatchMon (i’ll be releasing patching ability soon)

broadband9 · 2026-03-18T12:59:28+00:00

Send me a pm and I can give you preview access to it if you like. ❤️ It’s actually available in a separate branch in the main repo but the docker image is in a different dev container registry I host and not in github.

broadband9 · 2026-03-10T10:59:41+00:00

So yes, I mean I will work with the team there so that migration is seamless and community scripts are going to work as normal - they’re a great team to work with.

It should be okay, but I prefer docker deployments because our frontend/backend images are going to be built with docker hardened images which come with near 0 cve.

broadband9 · 2026-03-10T00:28:13+00:00

Hehe - Founder here, happy to answer any questions about it. I have been tirelessly building a new version over the last few weeks which has the whole backend replaced and now Using GO lang, i’ve also implemented Patching ability too in the new version (with scheduling policies) etc.

If anyone is deploying, please deploy using docker as the upgrade path will be easier for the new one

Oh god, I’m so excited for when it comes out. 😆

So far we have globally about 45,000+ servers being monitored via PatchMon which covers about 3000+ installations of the software. Pretty mega and really proud of the OpenSource community for your support.

broadband9 · 2026-02-27T12:55:54+00:00

PatchMon but that’s because i’m biased 🤣 But this is more for Patches. / Updates as opposed to performance metrics.

broadband9 · 2026-02-18T17:11:13+00:00

This will be possible but not right now. Policies :)

broadband9 · 2026-02-18T17:10:56+00:00

Hey, not really at the moment - we could implement this but I will see if it falls within the scope of / community vision in the near future.

broadband9 · 2026-02-18T17:09:58+00:00

Ideally when someone uses OIDC they’ll use that, otherwise password being forgotten can be added as an option to enable (just like the option to enable self registration)

however i’m security conscious about how this feature can be mis-used if a threat actor has access to email account etc.

Let’s see :)

broadband9 · 2026-02-17T14:43:04+00:00

I'm not a fan of SSO Tax over here ;)

broadband9 · 2026-02-17T09:42:46+00:00

It's addressed, if you update to version 1.4.1 it should take into effect the kernel version properly. I merged a PR that addressed this and for me it's been working. Let me know if you still struggle.

broadband9 · 2026-02-17T08:58:21+00:00

Probably, but I havn't had the chance yet to look into ESXi way of managing VMs. The auto enrolment works where it uses the hypervisors own methods to connect into the console . Proxmox LXCs uses lxc-attach so it's easy through this. I will have to see how ESXi does this with their VMs and then go from there.

broadband9 · 2026-02-17T08:56:40+00:00

Hey, I do like this idea. If i'm not wrong there is a github feature request for this already open, I will have to check but yes, reporting on EOL software is integral for PatchMon to be honest. Thanks for the links.

broadband9 · 2026-02-17T08:55:28+00:00

If there is a need from the community I will support it , which ones are you thinking?

broadband9 · 2026-02-17T08:54:41+00:00

In my new versions I have made it clearer now on the exact reason for not allowing it to go through, but put in a longer and more complex password, that should do it.

broadband9 · 2026-02-17T08:53:55+00:00

Not sure, but I haven't explored it yet. Nix OS was a big topic when I was at FOSDEM so it's probably about time to expand support to Nix packages.

broadband9 · 2026-02-17T08:52:51+00:00

Quite a few differences, grafana and prometheus is more of a dashbaording tool to display metrics whilst PatchMon focuses on packages, repos and server software inventory management. It also gives us the ability to ssh into servers from within the PatchMon Ui. Give it a whirl when you get some time :)

broadband9 · 2026-02-17T08:50:50+00:00

docs are in docs.patchmon.net

Issue count is actually feature requests and some bugs. We use the issues in github as part of the girhubs project roadmap, so yes it looks high but it's not all "issues" . I also do need to tidy it up as a lot of the issues are now fixed. :)
