Homebridge is a lightweight NodeJS server you can run on your home network that emulates the iOS HomeKit API. It supports Plugins, which are community-contributed modules that provide a basic bridge from HomeKit to various 3rd-party APIs provided by manufacturers of "smart home" devices.

Since Siri supports devices added through HomeKit, this means that with Homebridge you can ask Siri to control devices that don't have any support for HomeKit at all. For instance, using just some of the available plugins, you can say:

- Siri, unlock the back door.
- Siri, open the garage door.
- Siri, turn on the coffee maker.
- Siri, turn on the living room lights.
- Siri, good morning!

Impacket is a collection of Python classes for working with network protocols. Impacket is focused on providing low-level programmatic access to the packets and for some protocols (e.g. SMB1-3 and MSRPC) the protocol implementation itself. Packets can be constructed from scratch, as well as parsed from raw data, and the object oriented API makes it simple to work with deep hierarchies of protocols. The library provides a set of tools as examples of what can be done within the context of this library.

gfx-rs is a low-level, cross-platform graphics and compute abstraction library in Rust. It consists of the following components:
• gfx-hal which is gfx's hardware abstraction layer: a Vulkan-ic mostly unsafe API which translates to native graphics backends.
• gfx-backend-* which contains graphics backends for various platforms:
◦ Vulkan (runs on Linux, Windows, and Android)
◦ DirectX 12 and DirectX 11
◦ Metal (runs on macOS and iOS)
◦ OpenGL ES3 (runs on Linux/BSD, Android, and WASM/WebGL2)
• gfx-warden which is a data-driven reference test framework, used to verify consistency across all graphics backends.

Prometheus is a docker-compose stack for Prometheus monitoring.

Here's a quick start using Play-With-Docker (PWD) to start-up a Prometheus stack containing Prometheus, Grafana and Node scraper to monitor your Docker infrastructure. The Try in PWD below allows you to quickly deploy the entire Prometheus stack with a click of the button. This will allow you to quickly test the stack to see if it meets your needs.

django-health-check is a pluggable app that runs a full check on the deployment, using a number of plugins to check e.g. database, queue server, celery processes, etc.

The following health checks are bundled with this project:

- Cache
- Database
- Storage
- Disk and memory utilization (via psutil)
- AWS S3 storage
- Celery task queue
- Celery ping
- RabbitMQ
- Migrations

Writing your own custom health checks is also very quick and easy.

Use Cases:

The primary intended use case is to monitor conditions via HTTP(S), with responses available in HTML and JSON formats. When you get back a response that includes one or more problems, you can then decide the appropriate course of action, which could include generating notifications and/or automating the replacement of a failing node with a new one. If you are monitoring health in a high-availability environment with a load balancer that returns responses from multiple nodes, please note that certain checks (e.g., disk and memory usage) will return responses specific to the node selected by the load balancer.
