What I Wanted to Build
As someone who loves servers, automations, and smart tools, I wanted a lightweight system that could monitor everything happening in my home setup — from Raspberry Pi temperature to SSH attempts and service uptime.
Core Features
Real-time temperature monitoring
Automatic alerts via Telegram
External IP change notifications
Service status checks (Nginx, Docker, WireGuard)
Daily logs with historical data
Tools I Used
Raspberry Pi 4
Python Telegram Bot API
Crontab for scheduled checks
Shell scripts for server status
CasaOS for container management
How It Works
Every few minutes, my Pi runs a set of scripts that gather metrics from the system. These metrics are instantly pushed to my Telegram bot using Python.
If something goes wrong — like high temperature or too many invalid SSH attempts — I get an alert right away.
Why I Built It
I wanted a personal dashboard that feels futuristic, clean, and useful — something that matches the cyber aesthetic of my workflow while giving real value and control over my server environment.
What’s Next
I plan to integrate:
live graphs
GPU/CPU usage tracking
a full Agent Emergency Dashboard UI
mobile-friendly controls
