dashdot
Modern, real-time server dashboard for small private servers.
Dashdot is a modern server dashboard designed for smaller private servers. It provides a real-time overview of host metrics and system status via a polished glassy UI.
Key Features
- Real-time system metrics including CPU, memory, disk, and network usage presented in a responsive dashboard
- Web-based UI built with React and Node.js, designed for easy self-hosted deployment
- Docker-based quick-install with multi-architecture images (AMD64 and ARM)
- Lightweight, glassmorphism design with customizable widgets
- Comprehensive installation and configuration options documented on the official site
- Live demo available for exploration in the project’s official repository's demo
Use Cases
- Monitoring small private servers and home labs
- Observability of multiple VPS or private servers from a single dashboard
- Quick on-boarding for admins needing at-a-glance status of disks, networks, memory, and CPU
Limitations and Considerations
- The speed test feature can consume significant bandwidth; you can reduce impact by adjusting the speed test interval via an environment variable as described in the installation docs
Conclusion
Dashdot provides real-time server metrics through a modern, self-hosted dashboard. It can be deployed via Docker and explored via a live demo; official docs cover installation and configuration.
