Debian Server Monitoring Dashboard
Real-Time Metrics, Docker, FastAPI, Traefik
In one sentence
A real-time, web-based dashboard for monitoring Linux servers, Docker containers, and AI workloads. Built with FastAPI, Python, and modern frontend tech, it provides instant visibility into system health, resource usage, and security events.
Who is it for?
Sysadmins, DevOps teams, and businesses running critical workloads on Debian or Dockerized infrastructure who need actionable, real-time insights and alerting.
Business challenge → solution
Challenge:
Traditional monitoring tools are often slow, complex, or lack real-time visibility into containers, GPU, and security events.
Solution:
A lightweight, extensible dashboard that aggregates metrics from psutil, pynvml, Docker, and system logs, with instant charting and alerting.
Outcome:
Faster incident response, better uptime, and peace of mind for technical teams.
Core value propositions
Real-time metrics
CPU, RAM, disk, network, GPU, and Docker stats updated live.
Docker integration
Container health, logs, and resource usage at a glance.
FastAPI backend
Low-latency API for instant data delivery.
Secure & role-based
JWT auth, brute-force protection, and audit logging.
Beautiful charts
Chart.js-powered frontend for clear, actionable insights.
Alerting
Threshold-based notifications via email, Slack, or Telegram.
Traefik SSL
Reverse proxy with Let’s Encrypt and rate limiting.
How it works
From data collection to visualization and alerting, every step is automated and secure.
Collect
psutil, pynvml, and Docker-py gather system/container metrics.
API
FastAPI serves metrics via secure endpoints.
Frontend
Tailwind + Chart.js dashboard visualizes data in real time.
Alert
Thresholds trigger notifications (email, Slack, Telegram).
Audit
All access and events are logged for compliance.
Key features at a glance
Live resource charts
CPU, RAM, disk, network, GPU, Docker containers.
User/session management
MariaDB backend, JWT, role-based access.
Brute-force protection
