About

What Glances does

Glances is a cross-platform system monitor that shows real-time CPU, memory, disk, network, process list, Docker stats, and hardware sensors. It includes a web UI, alerts, InfluxDB export for historical data, and auto-discovery for container metrics.

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.

After deployment, Yantr also lets you publish additional ports later from the stack page using Docker-style syntax. Use mappings like 8080:8080 for a fixed host port or just 8080 to let Docker assign a random host port for container port 8080.

Use Cases

What people run it for

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.

Ports

These are the standard container ports Yantr knows about for Glances. You can keep the default mapping, remap them, or publish extra ports later after deployment with Docker syntax such as 3000:3000 or 3000.
