V2.0 Released

The server monitor for terminal dwellers

No agents. No browser tabs. Just SSH into a retro-futuristic TUI and monitor your entire infrastructure. Open source, self-hosted, and built with Go.

MIT LicensedDocker ReadyZero Dependencies

Everything you need to monitor your infrastructure

A single Go binary that replaces complex monitoring stacks. Deploy with Docker in minutes, manage entirely via SSH.

SSH-First Dashboard

No browser required. Manage every monitor, alert, and user directly from your terminal via SSH. Built with the Bubbletea TUI framework.

Push & Pull Monitoring

HTTP/S active polling with SSL tracking, plus passive heartbeat endpoints for cron jobs and backup scripts.

Multi-Channel Alerts

Get notified instantly via Discord, Slack, Email (SMTP), or generic webhooks. Connect to PagerDuty, OpsGenie, and more.

High Availability

Leader/Follower clustering with automatic failover. If your primary node goes down, the standby takes over in seconds.

Flexible Storage

Start with SQLite for simplicity, migrate to PostgreSQL for production. Full JSON backup and restore API included.

Secure by Default

Database-backed SSH key authentication. No passwords, no exposed web ports. Your monitoring stays behind SSH.

Up and running in 60 seconds

One Docker Compose file. One command. Then SSH in and start adding monitors. No config files, no YAML sprawl, no agents to install on target machines.
