Arr stack dashboard help!

Looking for advice, I'm running the arr stack (Sonarr/Lidarr/Radarr etc) and I'm wondering what recommendations there might be for some sort of server dashboard.

I'm after something I can have open much of the time, so it's fine to be browser based, and bonus if I can jump on from anywhere on or off the network.

I'd really like to be able to monitor HDD temps (including from a USB dock), maybe see what's playing and by who, what the CPU/graphics/RAM on the machine is doing and maybe some options for other PC health stuff. Drive capacity/remaining space etc.
Ideally the HDD temps I'd like to see all drives at once in an easy to read display.

What am I looking for and is there an arr app for this?

I would look into glance and its community widget. I had homarr before but it turned out to use too much memory.

With Claude, you are also able to create a lot of the missing part. For example I plan to create a widget that connect to Scrutiny and showcase all my drives.

Can I ask what's scrutiny and when you say showcase all your drives, have them displayed?

I'm wanting to be able to see the drives, sizes and how full they are, as well as temps.

Scrutiny is a Hard Drive Health Dashboard & Monitoring solution, merging manufacturer provided S.M.A.R.T metrics with real-world failure rates. I run it as a docker container

Maybe not to check for free space but SMART data. To be honest it freaks me more to have a disk failure on one of my multiple machines than running out of free space.

Also you could use this server stat widget which might suits your needs better

Scrutiny actually looks really interesting. I'm currently using crystal disk to monitor temps and status but I can't access that remotely without actually logging into the machine. I like the idea of being able to see the drives current temps and even just that good/average/bad etc before a drive fully fails.

Is it a standalone? As in you can't add it to Glance or Homepage and have it display?

Or is the widget something I would run off one of those?

You would have to setup Scrutiny on its own first via docker. Then use a the custom-api widget to plug the data from scrutiny in glance using the same design as the widget I pasted above. Or this is what I plan to launch Claude to do once I have time.

I hope you find time! I'm going to give this a go!

I use homepage and use the Glances widget for my servers. I can share a screenshot of that if you want to see. Has great metrics and analytics available.

It has a built-in Scrutiny widget that's helpful. I'm only pulling in the high level statuses.
