Great little tool to help monitor the server.

Yeah, I've tried it on yunohost and it's THE monitoring app killer !

This app will make a huge difference on Cloudron server as I’m currently missing real-time insights in ie. CPU, network I/O, etc

It looks like it’s really easy to install or setup but I’m not familiar (yet) with creating Cloudron apps.

@nebulon what are you guys using for real-time server monitoring?

BTW: their new GIT is https://github.com/netdata/netdata/wiki

Have you read the packaging tutorial?
(which imho needs to be easier to find from the main Cloudron website):

https://cloudron.io/documentation/custom-apps/tutorial/

I get all those on my Hetzner cloud over in the Hetzner console. Perhaps your server/ VPS provides this info too?

@jdaviescoates yes DO has also some metrics but not real-time and not so extensive and expandable as Netdata.

About packaging, yes of course I've read those but that doesn't mean you're able to create it immediately

I blindly followed the tutorial and it result this:
https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/jodumont/netdata
and the repo is there: https://git.cloudron.io/jodumont/netdata-app

@nebulon does this count for "a free license for Your App Community" ?

@JOduMonT it seems you have just forked the tutorial app and copied things from the upstream netdata Dockerfile. If you actually want to create a Cloudron app package for netdata, then you would have to revisit the package files. For example VOLUME in Dockerfile is not supported, also none of the CloudronManifest.json meta information seems to have been applied to netdata. Also healthcheck is not implemented.
Generally it may be nice to have netdata if it provides useful information and is actually be packaged for Cloudron.

thanks for the guidance,
it was my first 10 minutes
I'll have more time next week.

Does it is a good way to do it or should a start from scratch ?
Did I missed a template repo ?

[marcusquinn]

Does look good!
