• No

What makes your requested software better than the above solutions, if available?

• VictoriaMetrics has the following prominent features:

How can DietPi make the installation easier or compatible, than following the install instructions or do APT installation, if available?

• There is a build from the Debian Go team in Debian's repositories, but it is delivered without the integrated VMUI for interacting with time-series data in the database.

More context:
Debian's build policy and further software delivery via apt repositories require all source code to be hosted on Debian's GitLab project. Since VMUI uses many lightweight npm packages, the maintainers decided to remove VMUI from the builds and deliver only the database, without the web interface because they don't want to resolve all issues with npm. It is worth noting that the Prometheus web UI was added a long time ago by one of the Prometheus maintainers for interaction and was not subject to such policies. The maintainers responded with a brief "no" to the suggestion to download pre-compiled VMUI static files from the VictoriaMetrics repository.

Can you provide the installation steps that you would suggest DietPi-Software to do?

Are you willing to help maintaining the software installation, e.g. in case of needed setup changes due to updates etc.? This is not needed, but could speed up our decision to implement it, as man power is always a topic 😉.

• Yes, I'd be happy to help.
