## What it is
ALS (Another Looking-glass Server) is a self-hosted looking-glass server that lets users run network diagnostics like ping, traceroute, and speed tests against a server via a web interface. It is distributed as a lightweight Docker image or precompiled binary and configured through environment variables.

## Use cases
- host a looking-glass server for my VPS network
- let customers run ping and traceroute tests from my datacenter
- provide a public speed test endpoint for a server location
- deploy a network diagnostic page with docker
- check ipv4 and ipv6 connectivity from a remote server
- run mtr and traceroute diagnostics from a browser

## When to choose
- you operate servers or a network and want to offer public looking-glass diagnostics
- you need a lightweight, Docker-based looking-glass with minimal RAM requirements
- you want built-in speed test files and automatic IP/location detection

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose monitoring or alerting platform rather than a looking-glass
- you require authenticated, private diagnostics rather than a public-facing tool
- you cannot run Docker or a small persistent server process

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: http-server, developer-tools, monitoring
- domain: networking, self-hosted, developer-tools
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: looking-glass, network-diagnostics, speedtest, ping, traceroute, mtr, docker, linux, web-server
