Lightweight system monitor for Linux VPS written in Go

Lightweight system monitor for Linux VPS. Contribute to leodeim/vpsmon development by creating an account on GitHub.

In plain words

Vpsmon is a lightweight system monitor built in Go for Linux virtual private servers. It provides real-time system metrics and can inspect Docker containers and access their recent logs when deployed with Docker socket access. The tool installs via a simple bash script and can be exposed with automatic HTTPS using Caddy. It's designed for developers and system administrators managing VPS infrastructure and includes built-in authentication for secure access.

From the sources

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/leodeim/vpsmon/main/scripts/install.sh | sudo bash Useful Commands Once installed on your VPS, you can manage the monitor using these commands: The Docker deployment mounts /var/run/docker.sock so vpsmon can inspect containers and read their last 100 log lines on demand. Docker socket access is effectively privileged even when mounted read-only, so keep vpsmon behind its authentication and deploy it only on hosts you trust. Caddy is the easiest way to expose vpsmon with automatic HTTPS. Add the following to your Caddyfile : monitor.yourdomain.com { reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8088 } About Lightweight system monitor for Linuxfrom github.com

    hey guys. the other day i was migrating hosting providers and i just needed something not too heavy and convenient to spin up my backups for awhile and realised there is almost nothing out there. kimchi hasn't been updated for years and cockpit is heavy. so here's something i came up with in a couple hours because of a sudden urge, nothing fancy just basic creation with cloud init, lifecycle management and image/storage, but it's modern-ish and it compiles to a 8.4mb binary inclusive of the embedded web UI, CLI and API, and only dep is libvirt.

    Utilyze – an open source GPU monitoring tool more accurate than nvtopApr 2026 · systalyze.com · ▲128

    The standard GPU utilization metric reported by nvidia-smi, nvtop, Weights & Biases, Amazon CloudWatch, Google Cloud Monitoring, and Azure Monitor is highly misleading. It reports the fraction of time that any kernel is running on the GPU, which means a GPU can report 100% utilization even if only a small portion of its compute capacity is actually being used. In practice, we've seen workloads with ~1–10% real compute throughput while dashboards show 100%. This becomes a problem when teams rely on that metric for capacity planning or optimization decisions, it can make underutilized systems…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
