pi-dashboard

A Raspberry Pi-oriented terminal dashboard with information I consider useful.

Getting started

I use a Pi 3 as a home server with an external HDD attached to it. To monitor its status easily, I have also purchased a small LCD TFT screen with a case for it and the Pi. This dashboard will look best on one of those simple screens, such as the Waveshare models.

To run the project, clone this repo, and run these commands:

$ cd pi-dashboard
$ npm install
$ npm start

Before you run, edit config.js and change the monitoredDisk to a device you want to monitor, such as /dev/sda1.

Developing

There is no special development mode, run the same commands as above to test changes to your code.

Deploying

I configured my Pi to start a tmux session on startup, and run the dashboard in the first tab. This way whenever Pi reboots, it starts displaying the dashboard on the LCD automatically.

Features

The dashboard features several screns that display different sets of data. They rotate every few seconds.

Disk monitor - shows free/used space
Network monitor - shows local IP and network utilization
Weather monitor - shows weather conditions at location selected in config
Ethereum price monitor - shows current Ethereum price and draws a chart (data from Coinbase API)

Contributing

Feel free to open a pull request with anything you like. If you want to add a larger feature, it would likely make sense to encapsulate it in a separate screen.
