ws-monitoring VS Cockpit

ws-monitoring

Shameless plug,I made a lightweight real time monitoring tools using websockets, it's open source: https://github.com/elestio/ws-monitoring/

Here is my half baked real-time server monitoring system: https://github.com/elestio/ws-monitoring

It's a web UI + websocket backend, very small, 10kb vanilla frontend and 300 LOC for the backend.

My goal is not to compete with netdata or other big tools but serve my own needs using really few resources

Cockpit - Web UI for basic administration tasks

Cockpit is a great free systems monitor panel

Is this what you want?

And then of course there's grafana which is definitely not for the feint of heart.

There are so many page-of-bookmarks style dashboards, but if I'm being honest, none of them are all that great. Of the above, I like heimdall the best for its cleanliness and simplicity, but its hardly customizable.

I think we'd be much better served by a really well thought-out framework for self-hosted/homelab dashboards with excellent API documentation that has pluggable modules for things like authentication, data sources (e.g. docker, db, config file, service APIs), and the front end. This would allow people to easily build the dashboard with the features they want, and make it even easier for people to contribute a variety of "themes" for endless customization.

I already use something like that, but with a cockpit.

Recently, we release a visual file explorer that will work with any Cockpit deployment. We've seen people asking for it, and thought the community might find it useful, so here it is. Check out the video/ article if you want to see what it is all about.

I'm searching for remote server file management right now. I want to copy (and compare) large directories on same server from my Macbook. Cannot find one so far.

Cockpit: "here is no graphical file manager, and we don't plan to add one." https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/issues/11011

CuberDuck: "FTP and SFTP do not support a copy operation."
