customized Netdata

==================

[Netdata](https://www.netdata.cloud/) is pretty cool but there's one annoying thing about it: telemetry/tracking/cloud bullshit

Unfortunately these only get harder to get rid of.

In 2020 it sufficed to apply a few small tweaks to the `web` folder, but it became a big mess of React that is impossible to untangle after the fact.

This repository provides a ready-to-use version of Netdata v1.37.1 with the following removed:

* any kind of anonymous statistics

* registry / cloud functionality

* update check

* news panel

This means by default neither the Netdata server nor the web frontend will contact any third parties whatsoever.

**Build instructions**: Run `./build.sh`
