I installed Dashy a couple of days ago and have got things pretty much how I want them I think. There is more off the bottom of the screen but this screen shot shows the main things I need.

I’ve set the stats widgets to auto-collapse on load so they don’t take up the entire screen, and I’m pulling those from Glances running on my ProxMox server.

Really impressed with Dashy, and how easy it is to configure and customise.

      This was a huge benefit of my self-hosting. I started with just file server and mythTV, but mythTV uses mySQL, and once I had a db running, I found all kind of other uses for it. I’ve used Quicken (2012) to track finances, but then I figured out I could use my brokerage’s API to get the raw data and make my own graphs. My rowing machine has an API to get all kind of metrics, including a heart monitor. Environmental sensors. I haven’t gone as far as ‘smart’ scale, or a wearable that would track sleep. Then a bunch of python to make pretty graphs for web pages.

      Honestly, I think it’s the pleasure of seeing new dots show up on the rowing graph that keeps me doing it.

      That would be awesome. Although I feel like it would be depressing opening a dashboard that showed 0, 0, 1 hour, bad etc… :)
