What products do you wish you could self-host? (alien.top)

This hasn't been asked in a while, and I really loved reading the last discussion so I'm hoping to kick it off again and see what has changed!

What I'd like to know is:

- What specific products do you wish you could host on your own infrastructure, but the product does not offer such a deployment method

- Do you or would you use the product without being able to self-host? I.E. In its current state

- Do you think your employer, if any, holds the same opinions?

A good RMM solution with scripting options. Ie. Labtech, etc.

There was TacticalRMM but there was some controversy around a crypto miner baked into a private installer. Thought of trying it in my isolated network, but can’t decide how I feel about it.

Organic Maps

We are using it for managing 250-300 devices (Win Desktop, Win Server, MacOS, Linux based Server and Desktop). So far we love it (no mote TeamViewer and Anydesk since it's using MeshCentral). What is missing (as a major component) - reporting. Still you can create/build your own reporting since there is a good API. Reporting is almost there (crossing fingers)

I really appreciate you mentioning this as I’m looking for something small and light for work as well. We have a hundred or so Pi’s that are critical enough to need management and monitoring, but not critical enough to actually spend money on a RMM or something from one of the big guys.

Right now I’m setting up ansible and getting everything in place, but I’d love something that is more agent based and not just a reoccurring script.
