Glances

Cross-platform system monitoring tool showing CPU, memory, disk, network, and Docker stats.

About

Glances is a powerful cross-platform system monitoring tool that provides a comprehensive view of your server's performance. It displays real-time metrics including CPU usage (per core), memory consumption, disk I/O and space, network traffic, process list, Docker container stats, and hardware sensors (temperature, fan speed). Features include web UI for remote monitoring, alert thresholds, historical data, export to InfluxDB for graphing, and auto-discovery of Docker containers. It's like htop but accessible through a browser with more detailed information.

How to Self-Host Glances

Glances can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Glances does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, dependencies, and where to find the original compose template.

If you searched for Glances Docker, Glances Docker Compose, or self-host Glances, this page is the direct landing page for that app in Yantr's catalog.

Use Cases

  • Monitor server performance in real-time through the web interface.
  • Track Docker container resource usage alongside host metrics.
  • Set up alerts when CPU, memory, or disk exceeds thresholds.
  • View historical data by exporting to time-series databases.
