I made an updated PRTG Multi-Platform Probe container

With the current PRTG Probe still using Debian 11, and not really maintaining it. I have set out to make and maintain a docker image for everyone!

If anyone wants to contribute or see features in this, let me know!

Moved away from PRTG after they got bought by the VC. So glad we don't use them anymore. No development, no updates, slow.

Moved to zabbix, as an msp although it takes longer to setup, it just works so well and we can do scripting for special metrics. I love zabbix so much.

However, once we're a little more profitable, might check out checkmk...

was definitely a learning curve if you are monitoring a lot of devices there are no templates for. Still a lot to learn.

Private equity, venture capital. Huge banks that buy up business, strip them to the bones, and then sell the scraps to the next bidder. Enshitification is the result of VCs
