We know: servers, VMs and bare metals are not cool nowadays, but you may still have them and have to take care of them, so how about making your life a little better?
This app provides a MOTD (Message Of The Day) optimized for providing the info about your server that YOU need to troubleshoot stuff when you SSH to it (because if you are doing it, then something IS wrong with the server, isn't it?).
- Useful default info - CPU load, memory use, disk space use etc.,
- Semantic colors - red ~ problem, yellow ~ warning.
- Customizable - reorder or remove lines,
- Fast - native app,
Download the single binary from the releases.
Optionally configure with dynamotd.yaml file in the current dir, ~/.dynamotd/ or /etc/.
See the example config in dynamotd.yaml.
Check out the available command-line arguments by running dynamotd -help.
If you like it you can add it to your system as a dynamic MOTD by following one of these great guides:
- Debian/Ubuntu,
- (TODO: add RedHat/Centos/Rocky and more)
Requirements:
- Go v. 1.17+
How-to build:
./build.sh
These features will be implemented in the future:
- Pluggable - add custom lines with any label and any command(s) output as the value,
- Interactive mode - show the output like
htop, updated every 2 seconds, - Keyboard shortcuts - in interactive mode only, to run popular tools like htop, iftop etc.
- Circuit-breaker - minimal info mode in case of server overload detection,
- Native packages for RedHat/Centos/Rocky and Debian/Ubuntu - easy install it on (almost) all of your servers.
We also don't have the tests yet and the building pipeline (but they WILL be created if we decide to go ahead with the project).
Finally, we don't have user docs, developer docs and contribution guide.
What we DO have is some non-idiomatic code and brain-dead solutions because the original author is only learning Golang. :P
