A phone-first control room for checking a home server
A lightweight control room is being built to check home server and private services from a phone. It covers a , Proxmox VE machines, Ubuntu and Linux hosts, , websites, and private services. The goal is broader than a simple uptime page, because it brings device health, private monitoring, status history, alerts, and recovery visibility into one place.
Internal services can be checked without opening ports to the internet, because an outbound-only Docker Probe sends health information from inside the network. Current checks include HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, UDP, DNS, Ping, and domain expiry, container status timelines, CPU, memory, storage history, and overall health summaries.
Key points
- The dashboard is designed first for phone use, not just desktop use.
- It monitors NAS storage, , Linux hosts, , websites, and private services.
- An outbound-only Docker Probe checks internal services without opening public ports.
- It tracks service checks, expiry, domain expiry, container history, CPU, memory, and storage.
- owners can borrow the same idea for safer remote health checks.
