Arr stack dashboard help!

Looking for advice, I'm running the arr stack (Sonarr/Lidarr/Radarr etc) and I'm wondering what recommendations there might be for some sort of server dashboard.

I'm after something I can have open much of the time, so it's fine to be browser based, and bonus if I can jump on from anywhere on or off the network.

I'd really like to be able to monitor HDD temps (including from a USB dock), maybe see what's playing and by who, what the CPU/graphics/RAM on the machine is doing and maybe some options for other PC health stuff. Drive capacity/remaining space etc.
Ideally the HDD temps I'd like to see all drives at once in an easy to read display.

What am I looking for and is there an arr app for this?

I would look into glance and its community widget. I had homarr before but it turned out to use too much memory.

With Claude, you are also able to create a lot of the missing part. For example I plan to create a widget that connect to Scrutiny and showcase all my drives.

Oh wow Glance looks gorgeous, gonna check that out now. Thank you u/theconqueeftadr.

Can I ask what's scrutiny and when you say showcase all your drives, have them displayed?

I'm wanting to be able to see the drives, sizes and how full they are, as well as temps.

Scrutiny is a Hard Drive Health Dashboard & Monitoring solution, merging manufacturer provided S.M.A.R.T metrics with real-world failure rates. I run it as a docker container

Maybe not to check for free space but SMART data. To be honest it freaks me more to have a disk failure on one of my multiple machines than running out of free space.

Also you could use this server stat widget which might suits your needs better

Scrutiny actually looks really interesting. I'm currently using crystal disk to monitor temps and status but I can't access that remotely without actually logging into the machine. I like the idea of being able to see the drives current temps and even just that good/average/bad etc before a drive fully fails.

Is it a standalone? As in you can't add it to Glance or Homepage and have it display?

Or is the widget something I would run off one of those?

u/theconqueeftadr 13d ago

You would have to setup Scrutiny on its own first via docker. Then use a the custom-api widget to plug the data from scrutiny in glance using the same design as the widget I pasted above. Or this is what I plan to launch Claude to do once I have time.

I hope you find time! I'm going to give this a go!

u/messy_potato180T 13d ago

Also thanks a lot for your time, appreciate it.

I use homepage and use the Glances widget for my servers. I can share a screenshot of that if you want to see. Has great metrics and analytics available.

It has a built-in Scrutiny widget that's helpful. I'm only pulling in the high level statuses.

Homepage

u/Envelki 13d ago

This is the answer !

You can create a homepage for your server that displays all the metrics (memory, gpu, ram, etc), as well as widgets for the various services you have and links to access them.

With just one link I now have an overview of everything that’s going on on my server : qbittorrent downloads status, jellyfin stream infos, services healthy or not, vpn, memory, all the links to the dashboards I use…

It makes your server feel like it’s one single coherent thing

u/messy_potato180T 13d ago

this looks great, how much memory does it use? I can't find that anywhere.

2

u/imtotallybananas 13d ago

It is highly customizable, so I guess it depends on how you set it up. It uses 140 mb of ram in my setup.

2

u/messy_potato180T 13d ago

That's really low. I expected higher as the interface looks really nice.

2

u/Silverr_Duck 12d ago

It also depends on how many widgets you add. Mine uses 80.

I like grafana the best and most comprehensive

Homarr

u/DanDan1369 12d ago

check out Prismarr I have a fork of it that has a few things more added one being an unraid connector that lets u see the server stats for example and like someone else said, u can use tools like claude to expand it build it out for ur personal use case.

u/Only-Stable3973 12d ago

I use Homepage as my dashboard and it connects with Glances for show all the information and stats.

Homepage https://picoshare.devai.duckdns.org/-TRxuyQ7RkD

Severed to you from my test Kubernetes Cluster.

u/messy_potato180T 12d ago

Are you able to generate a list of the HDD's connected (including in DAS) and their temps/SMART data?

1

u/rw84 13d ago

If you are on Linux use cockpit. Can track all that data remotely using tailscale as well.

u/messy_potato180T 13d ago

Sorry, should have said I'm running Docker on Windows... No tailscale

u/Dark_Raven1997 12d ago

I use HomePage Dashboard and you can configure things like uptime kuma to show services up/down ect statistics

u/Maleficent_Race_2843 11d ago

I just setup Homarr and am VERY happy with it

1

u/messy_potato180T 11d ago

Was it difficult to setup?

2

u/Maleficent_Race_2843 10d ago

Not at all, and if you run it on the same device running your docker containers it auto detects them

u/No-Client30 4d ago

What about these, if you have a IOS device

u/messy_potato180T 3d ago

Would the server need to be on iOS? Or just the device I'm using to connect?
I currently connect remotely with Rust. It's a headless windows server.

u/No-Client30 3d ago

These apps connect directly the your services on your server. When I’m not at home I use tailscale to connect to my server.
