The Free Proxmox Monitoring Dashboard You’ve Been Waiting For
In this video, I’m taking a look at Pulse which is a brand-new open-source monitoring tool built specifically for Proxmox VE and Docker. This free tool gives Proxmox a sleek, real-time dashboard that I think it’s always needed. It shows you your nodes, VMs, LXC containers, and even Docker hosts all in one place. I’ll walk you through what Pulse is, how to install it using Docker, how to connect it to your Proxmox nodes, and how to add Docker monitoring. If you’ve been searching for a simple but powerful way to monitor your home lab, this is one tool you’ll want to try. Pulse is free, easy to set up, and made for the exact combination many of us are running — Proxmox and Docker.
