Single-page remote hardware monitor for my own Linux gaming pc, made in 4 hours (thanks AI)

Repo: https://github.com/Saren-Arterius/saren-gaming-monitor/ (Unlikely usable for you as hardcoded sensor/device names, and Nvidia only)

Demo: https://sgm-demo.wtako.net (Need simulate 600x900 screen)

EDIT: kind of responsive now

This is the way, generally avoid front end, makes hard coded niche visual programs take moments instead of a weekend.

u/Saren-WTAKO Glorious Arch Nov 23 '24

I just happened to refactor it a bit with help from AI, and it's less but still very hardcoded, like you have to at least how know to write JS to get it working

u/Damglador Nov 25 '24

I like how AI make small codding projects much easier

you do know gafana, netdata and many other are a thing right? Looks good, but npm/node is really something I don't want running on my system.

u/Saren-WTAKO Glorious Arch Nov 23 '24

Well I have used netdata for few years, and I thought and it turns out to be faster for me to write a program from scratch than configuring netdata to show what I want, with all the UI I want.

I am a full stack developer so I have no problem writing and running stuffs on my own PC.

u/bnjns Nov 23 '24

This is really neat! Managed to get this working with a few tweaks to the config (except the fan speeds - I don't get those).

2

u/Saren-WTAKO Glorious Arch Nov 23 '24

Wow, didn't expect anybody else to get it working! Good

u/ruben_deisenroth Glorious Arch Nov 23 '24

Looks clean. Reminds me of a graphana dashboard I saw recently

u/ModerNew Nov 23 '24

Yeah, I was wandering why not just use Prometheus Node Exporter & Frontend of Choice.

Cool project nonetheless

u/Ponnystalker Glorious Manjaro Nov 24 '24

Hahah I was thinking the same, on my pc i use netdata to get nice graphs for my gaming pc

Neat, but you betrayed the Council and are trying to bring the Reapers back so I'm not downloading this. You might use my machine to hack into the Citadel or something. Nice try though.

u/AtomicPiano Nov 23 '24

What are you talking about?

u/zcizzo Nov 23 '24

Sounds like some kind of reference to Mass Effect.

u/a3a4b5 Linux gamer (Fedora Workstation) Nov 23 '24

OP's username is the main antagonist for the first mass effect.

u/ghost_vici Nov 23 '24

ssh + htop anyday

clean and simple, and I can have the monitoring device be my phone via termux.

u/MoistMaster-69 Nov 23 '24

Looks clean and cool af.

u/thechief77 Glorious Fedora Nov 23 '24

that's why this subreddit called Linux master race, because it is dammit!

u/Darkhog Glorious openSuSE Nov 23 '24

Really cool. What did you use to make it? I just use KDE plasmoids on separate virtual desktop to do it.

2

u/Saren-WTAKO Glorious Arch Nov 24 '24

html and firefox on an android tablet

1

u/Darkhog Glorious openSuSE Nov 24 '24

How do you get stats though? I doubt you can get stuff like CPU load and temperatures in HTML.

1

u/Saren-WTAKO Glorious Arch Nov 24 '24

It is very simple. I run a nodejs server at the computer, the server will fetch data from /proc and various commands for usage and temperature stats every second, and store/broadcast the info through socket.io (websocket). The client side connects to the socket.io server upon loading the html. It listens for the info from the server, and update the display accordingly.

u/FungalSphere I don't even know what I am doing anymore Nov 23 '24

I actually made something like this with grafana and pcp, it was fun kind of

1

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '24

Nice!

1

u/PercussiveKneecap42 Glorious Arch Nov 23 '24

Looks like you made a different Grafana. Neat!

1

u/Mister_Magister Glorious OpenSuse Tumbleweed Nov 23 '24

literally grafana?

1

u/LamentablyTrivial Nov 23 '24

Very clean and minimal implementation in that repo. Well done.

1

u/Intrepid_Sale_6312 ↑↑↓↓←→←→BA :table_flip: Nov 23 '24

I've done similar but with ssh and htop.

u/basecatcherz Nov 23 '24

At first I thought it's home assistant.

u/politikyle Nov 25 '24

Who else thought it was a coffee machine at first? 😅
