Spec sheet

Purpose
A real-time hardware monitoring dashboard for Proxmox VE hosts.Read 11 Oct 2026 · github.com
Deployment
The documented installation runs on a Proxmox host and serves the dashboard at port 9099.Read 5 Oct 2026 · github.com
API
The project documents a GET /api/status endpoint that returns sensor data as JSON and a POST /api/mode endpoint for ASUS laptop fan profiles.Read 5 Oct 2026 · github.com
Integrations
It reads data from Linux hwmon, ASUS embedded controller registers, IPMI via ipmitool, sysfs battery data, and procfs system metrics.Read 11 Oct 2026 · github.com
Support
The README directs users to open a GitHub issue with their hardware model, Proxmox version and diagnostic output when reporting bugs.Read 5 Oct 2026 · github.com
License
The software is under the MIT License, which grants use, copying, modification, and distribution subject to its stated conditions.Read 11 Oct 2026 · github.com
Access and API
After installation, the dashboard is served in a browser at the Proxmox host's port 9099, and GET /api/status returns sensor data as JSON.Read 11 Oct 2026 · github.com
