I vibe coded a monitor that shows me all the logs and other stuff. And im using netbird cloud (free version) to setup dns so all my services have url "servicexyz.home.internal".

So i just connect to netbird vpn on my phone and go to that url.

You can pretty much use any of the other tools mentioned in this thread with this kind of setup, heck you can write a simple fastapi server that just runs "top" and return it (it would be like 20-30 lines of python) over a url that you can from anywhere as long as you are connected to your vpn
