Serverly

Serverly is a lightweight monitoring dashboard for Linux servers.
It provides system stats, uptime, disk usage, and service/docker status in a clean web UI.

• Real-time CPU, memory, disk, and uptime stats
• Optional service monitoring (systemd)
• Docker container list and logs
• YAML-based configuration for flexibility

Configuration

Serverly uses a YAML configuration file located at:

~/.config/serverly.yaml

An example configuration file is provided in the repository as serverly.yaml.example.
Copy or rename it to your config directory:

cp serverly.yaml.example ~/.config/serverly.yaml

EXAMPLE serverly.yaml

port: 3000
sections:
  uptime: true
  stats: true
  disk: true
  services:
    enabled: true
    filter:
      - ssh
      - bluetooth
  docker:
    enabled: false
    filter:
      - nginx
      - mysql
refreshInterval: 5

Running the Backend

1. Navigate to the backend folder and start the server:

cd backend
node index.js

This will:

• Load configuration from ~/.config/serverly.yaml.
• Start an API server on the configured port.

2. Alternatively, you can set up a systemd service to run serverly in the background:

Running as a systemd Service

You can set up serverly to run automatically in the background using systemd.

• Create a service file at /etc/systemd/system/serverly.service:

  [Unit]
  Description=Serverly Monitoring Service
  After=network.target
  
  [Service]
  ExecStart=/usr/bin/node </path/to/backend/index.js>
  WorkingDirectory=</path/to/backend>
  Restart=always
  User=<your-username>
  
  [Install]
  WantedBy=multi-user.target
