| Best use | Ideal for a developer or small platform team that wants encrypted configuration beside code with readable Git diffs. Use it for YAML, JSON, ENV and INI files and tightly scoped CI or runtime access. It is not a replacement for dynamic secret issuance or source-system credential rotation. | Best for an individual developer or small team running a VPS, home server, or a few Docker hosts and needing a simple dashboard, history, and alerts. Its value is combining host and container metrics in a self-hosted hub. It is not a full logs-and-traces observability platform. | For documentation authors and small teams checking references locally or in CI. Start with a specific file and interpret findings; it does not establish complete site or login functionality. |
