gollark: This is not too difficult, I think it took me about 30 minutes.

gollark: If you were to do it from scratch it would also require setting up Grafana and Prometheus.

gollark: I basically just had to write 20 lines of bridge code (into my existing random stuff webserver) and add some code to the computers running stuff ingame.

gollark: Not very much as I had the majority in place already.

gollark: You don't need a domain whatsoever for this, but it's nice and quite cheap.
