HomeLab Monitor
One page for your whole home lab & AI rig — GPU truth (any vendor), tokens/sec, power cost by the hour, uptime, training runs, containers, disks. No agents, no separate metrics stack, no cloud.
Your home lab grew into a couple of machines, a Pi, and a GPU that's mysteriously always busy — and lately it's running models too. HomeLab Monitor gives you one self-hosted page that answers the real questions: what's that GPU actually doing, which model is holding it, what's it costing you to run, which container is eating RAM, what's filling your disks, and is anything down — across every box over SSH: Linux, a Pi, even Windows. Readable from your phone over the VPN.
Get started
# Grab the compose file and go. No GPU required — the GPU panels just light up when one's present.
curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SikamikanikoBG/homelab-monitor/main/docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -dOpen http://:9800 and you're done. Full options (from source, GPU toolkit, Windows/WSL2) → Install docs.
<!-- Deliberately not pinned to a version number: this line used to name a specific release and was three releases out of date within two months. -->
🆕 What's new — every release is written up in full, with the reasoning behind it: latest release · changelog. The dashboard also shows you the notes once, in-app, after it updates itself.
What you get
One page, every box, the questions you actually have. The classics are all here — and a whole AI cockpit builds on top of them.
A front page for your lab — and a wall screen. The Overview opens with a Launchpad: the apps you actually open, as tiles with their real logos, pinned straight from a container row with the address already filled in, grouped and dragged into the order you want. Pins live on the hub, not in one browser — pin it on the laptop and it's there on the phone and on the wall. The whole board fits the screen: it measures its own overrun after every paint and gives ground in order — trimming lists, tightening the fleet rail, folding pins behind a +N more — rather than clipping a card in half or running past the fold. Verified from 4K down to 1366×768. And ⛶ Display (or /?display=1, all a dedicated kiosk box needs) drops every scrap of chrome and fills the monitor: you choose which panels the wall shows, and on Chromium-based browsers it opens full-screen on whichever screen you point it at.
