Extensions and plugins

OPTIONAL PLUGINS:

  .
• Netdata self-hosted
  Real-time performance monitoring, done right!
• Portainer
  Portainer is a lightweight management UI which allows you to easily manage your different Docker environments (Docker hosts or Swarm clusters)
• Docker Status Panel
  Minimal docker container panel. Allows you to check the status and logs of all services of this stack. It also simplifies SSL setup and configuration.
• Fail2ban
  Fail2ban scans log files and bans IPs that show the malicious signs. Highly recommended for simple VPS server setup
• knockd
  knockd is a port-knock server. It listens to all traffic on an ethernet (or PPP) interface, looking for special knock sequences of port-hits. A client makes these port-hits by sending a TCP (or UDP) packet to a port on the server. This port need not be open -- since knockd listens at the link-layer level, it sees all traffic even if it's destined for a closed port. When the server detects a specific sequence of port-hits, it runs a command defined in its configuration file. This can be used to open up holes in a firewall for quick access.
