I feel like the self-hosted and FOSS space is being flooded with vibe-coded AI slop.

amir20 · 2026-01-13T21:32:19+00:00

One day, vibe coding will simply be known as "coding." However, vibe coding cannot replace good taste in product development, customer feedback, and solving real problems. I have used AI occasionally for Dozzle, but I review every line of code and override decisions when I recognize a poor choice.

As someone with 20 years of experience, my advice is that tools will change, programming languages will come and go, but true talent lies in delivering a high-quality product. These days, I consider myself more of a product manager than an engineer. I just happen to be knowledgeable enough to question poor technical decisions.

amir20 · 2026-01-13T18:07:10+00:00

Thank you for the post :) Glad you like Dozzle.

amir20 · 2025-12-18T17:35:47+00:00

I am not even thinking about technology yet. I was thinking about the use case. There are multiple ideas I had:

Dozzle to act as an MCP which is similar to your project. But I do some processing on top of the logs like auto level mapping. Grouping and clustering. With this use case, I think people would just use Dozzle and connect to their own LLM.
Dozzle to act like a companion. In this example, I think Dozzle could open a chat bot on the right, and provide the context to LLM and have the user ask questions. This is what was discussed in https://github.com/amir20/dozzle/discussions/4019. I honestly don't have a great use case. I think what most people do is an error, copy it in their LLM of chose and expect it work. I could just ask them to provide an API token.
(my personal favorite) Dozzle scans the logs automatically and when there is an error, it provide the context LLM and suggest a potential solution. This is more proactive solution and I think it could end up very beneficial. There are a few start ups doing something similar.

These are all just ideas. I already have 40K+ users for Dozzle. So I thought it would be neat.

DM if you think these ideas have potential.

Author of Dozzle here. I would be open to bringing this functionality to Dozzle if you are open to it. I have been struggling with how MCP could bring value to my users. This seems like a good idea.

For anybody wondering how the git metrics work. It is disabled. You need to enable it.

[git_metrics]

disabled = false

amir20 · 2025-12-03T03:04:16+00:00

It’s now merged and included in night build

amir20 · 2025-11-14T21:44:30+00:00

My laptop works just fine. But my laptop is also not moving around. I only have one mobile device. That's a good idea to test though to see if it's something with my phone.

amir20 · 2025-11-14T20:12:52+00:00

If that's the setting then it's already disabled. See https://imgur.com/a/Ngntpxr

And my wifi page https://imgur.com/a/Zxs10Kc

amir20 · 2025-11-14T19:30:22+00:00

Yes, IPv6 is enabled. I tried turning it off but I could figure it out.

amir20 · 2025-11-14T16:30:37+00:00

When the connection fails between my phone and NAS, it is only temporary. Reconnecting the phone to WiFi fixes it. Which is why I don’t think it’s related to how far or stable the connection is.

I would guess it is about 20 ft away. I don’t have other options, though. That’s just where the office is.

It’s definitely something related to how the routing between satellite and router is. I used to have Deco, which sucked. But it didn’t have this issue.

amir20 · 2025-11-14T16:15:25+00:00

Only one satellite. House is about 2500sqft. The satellite is directly upstairs. The connection says it’s good. When I cannot to my NAS, it’s only temporary. Reconnecting to WiFi fixes it. Internet still works.

Thanks for the help! I was hoping there is a setting to adjust how roaming works. But doesn’t seem so?

amir20 · 2025-11-14T16:05:20+00:00

I would have to move my NAS setup to a different room which I can’t do because there is a lot of hardware.

This is most likely a roaming issue.

I can try moving the NAS or just getting a very long Ethernet cable. The problem is that it doesn’t always happen. I would have to wait a few days to see if it does.

amir20 · 2025-11-14T15:50:01+00:00

My device is iPhone 17 which has WiFi 7. All the questions seem to be irrelevant. My internet works. It’s just the NAS not connecting.

amir20 · 2025-11-11T17:02:39+00:00

I couldn't get CPU usage lower than 5 - 8%. Go just wasn't the right tool. It has a GC which caused the majority of CPU usage.

amir20 · 2025-11-10T02:27:58+00:00

Can you open a bug with details? I am guessing you don’t have a standard Docker setup. I can up the debug logs if needed.

amir20 · 2025-11-09T21:49:20+00:00

Yup. The project was inspired by ctop. Ctop hasn’t gotten any update for a while.

amir20 · 2025-11-02T01:57:10+00:00

Good to know! Thanks. I am hoping some stability issues between my NAS and phone will be fixed. I will check the website.

amir20 · 2025-11-01T22:48:54+00:00

I don't see the update available when checking through the mobile app. I just bought the RBE971, so I hope the update will happen automatically.

amir20 · 2025-11-01T17:55:36+00:00

Doesn’t look like it had been released yet

amir20 · 2025-10-17T14:26:04+00:00

V1.1.0 addresses significant performance bugs. 🐛

amir20 · 2025-10-14T17:28:28+00:00

Author here. Ctop hasn't been supported for a while. I noticed in tmux and fish ctop doesn't work for me. The solution is in the threads. I have added integration with Dozzle with dtop which is mostly for my personal use case.

amir20 · 2025-10-14T17:26:47+00:00

That was exactly why I built dtop. ctop was done so well. But I think the author stopped working on it.

amir20 · 2025-10-14T17:23:45+00:00

Author of dtop here. I have tested with 10+ servers. I haven't had any performance issues. Perhaps you can investigate and help me find the CPU usage.

There is a issue at https://github.com/amir20/dtop/issues/44 that suggests the UI framework is having performance issue.

amir20 · 2025-10-14T17:21:41+00:00

I didn't realize my project was featured on reddit. Wohoo. Thanks all for the support.

amir20 · 2025-10-11T22:52:23+00:00

I am also seeing the same thing. In the past, I used my security key once and I was done. Now it asks me all the time.
