Beszel hosting in the EU

Beszel: watch CPU, memory, disk and network for your own servers from one lightweight dashboard. On blitz.cloud you install it from the App Store in one click. It gets its own address with HTTPS, 1 GB of storage, and it runs on servers in the EU. You can run it on the free plan, without a credit card.

A self-hosted alternative to Netdata and Uptime Kuma

Beszel does the job of Netdata or Uptime Kuma, but it is your own copy: your data sits in your app, not in somebody else's account, and nobody changes the price or the rules on you. Self-hosting usually means renting a server and keeping it patched. Here the App Store sets it up and keeps it running.

What it needs

Install it

1. Start the install of Beszel. Without an account you create one with Google, GitHub or your email.
2. Pick your address, like yourname.blitz.cloud. The app's page in the App Store opens right after.
3. Click Install. It lists what gets created and is online about a minute later, at an address like beszel.yourname.blitz.cloud.
4. Open the app's address and create the first account. It becomes the admin.
5. Install a Beszel agent on the machine you want to watch and point it at the app's address.

Good to know

Only the hub: it shows nothing until an agent running on another machine connects and reports its numbers to it.

Deploy button for your README

Do you maintain Beszel or write about it? Put this button in a README or a post. A click opens Beszel in the blitz.cloud App Store, ready to install; someone without an account signs up for free first.

Questions

Can I host Beszel for free?

Yes. The free plan runs it without a card and without an end date. The app sleeps after 30 minutes without visitors, and the next visit wakes it.

Where is my Beszel data stored?

On blitz.cloud's servers in the EU, run by BlitzWorks, a company in Germany. Once signed in, you can download the data processing agreement as a PDF.

Can I use my own domain for Beszel?

Yes, on Pro, or on the free plan by making this one app a Pro app. HTTPS for the domain is set up for you.

Is Beszel backed up?

On Pro its files are copied every night and kept for 30 nights, and you can put them back from the app's page. On the free plan they are not copied, so keep an export of what matters.

How does Beszel get updates?

With automatic updates on, it gets new versions of its version line overnight. If a new version doesn't start, the one before it keeps running.
