(In reply to Vladimir Druzenko from comment #12)
My experiments with the port version that I published here show that things
still continue in the old way, as they worked. That is, I have 2 tier 2 netdata
servers that visualize the information from 20 other netdata agents. The
important thing is that these two that visualize, have never been connected to
any netdata.cloud.

I also have a 3rd server (tier 3) which is however debian 13.4 and it receives
data from the tier 2 machines. However, I had to apply hacks to it to visualize
the 23 machines for which there is data. Even since the hack is on node.js
which did not want to run under freebsd, I made an alternative version (formed
as a port) of python3 daemon doing what node.js does.

This is my actual observation, and for the moment I have stopped making changes
because I think it would be a big game to adapt the port from the way I have
it, to a way in which it will be able to work in poudrierre without internet
access. The problem for me is mostly with the rust/cargo part, which depends on
too many files downloaded from the internet at the moment. The dashboard itself
is not that complicated to use a static snapshot, the problem is with a place
(with enough bandwidth for fast access) where it will be hosted.

My check_netdata_update.sh still confirms that diff I've added is actual to
current moment:
