Tableau Public is the one that makes me uncomfortable. If this dashboard continues to work well and be useful I'll look into self-hosted alternatives.

Metabase may be of interest as an alternative

Yeah, I've used it in the past. Problem is my home server is a tiny RPi Zero and Metabase is too heavy for it. I'll look into running it on AWS/DO if I absolutely have to.

I’ve given in and bought an energy efficient homelab server for a few hundred off eBay. Intel makes the nuc, Lenovo has tiny thinkcentres, and HP has the elite desk among others.

The strange thing is how many odd lxc container projects I’ve stood up just to play with. Proxmox is sweet.

Could you use Google Data Studio for it instead?

Thanks for the suggestion. Looks promising. Although it's not as polished as Tableau.

No, but has private dashboards for free and it is hooked into your Google account for easy import from Sheets and such.
