Show HN: I ditched Grafana for my home server and built this instead

bahmann Monday, November 17, 2025

Frustrated by the complexity and resource drain of multi service monitoring stacks, I built Simon. I wanted a single, lightweight dashboard to replace the heavy stack and the constant need for an SSH client for routine tasks. The result is a resource efficient dashboard in a single Rust binary, just a couple of megabytes in size. Its support for various architectures on Linux also makes it ideal for embedded systems and lightweight SBCs.

It integrates: Comprehensive Monitoring: Realtime and historical metrics for the host system and Docker containers (CPU, memory, disk usage, and network activity). Integrated File & Log Management: A web UI for file operations and for viewing container logs, right where you need them. Flexible Alerting: A system to set rules on any metric, with templates for sending notifications to Telegram, ntfy, and webhooks. My goal was to create a cohesive, lightweight tool for self hosters and resource constrained environments. I'd love to get your feedback.
