glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. It allows real-time monitoring of various aspects of your system such as CPU, memory, disk, network usage etc. It also allows monitoring of running processes, logged in users, temperatures, voltages, fan speeds etc. It also supports container monitoring, it supports different container management systems such as Docker, LXC. The information is presented in an easy to read dashboard and can also be used for remote monitoring of systems via a web interface or command line interface.
This container uses the docker flag network_mode: host, which gives
unlimited access to your host network. There is also configurable
support for mounting the Docker socket, which provides full root
access to your host. You should not install this unless you completely
trust this service. To enforce the use of Traefik as your entrypoint,
your external firewall should block TCP ports 61208 and 61209.
make config
This will ask you to enter the domain name to use.
It automatically saves your responses into the configuration file
.env_{INSTANCE}.
It will also ask you if you want Glances to be able to report on container metrics in addition to the metrics of the host you are installing it on. In order for Glances to report on container metrics, it requires access to the host's Docker socket. Be aware that allowing access to the Docker socket is not safe because it effectively grants full control over the Docker daemon, enabling a container or attacker to escalate privileges, manipulate containers, and potentially compromise the host system.
See AUTH.md for information on adding external authentication on top of your app.
make install
make open
This will automatically open the page in your web browser, and will
prefill the HTTP Basic Authentication password if you enabled it
(and chose to store it in passwords.json).
make destroy
This completely removes the container and all its volumes.
