Raspberry Pi Resource Monitor

A touchscreen dashboard for a Raspberry Pi that receives live system resource data from other computers on the network.

Setup

Install Python dependencies on the Pi and each client machine:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Run The Pi Dashboard

On the Raspberry Pi:

python3 gui.py --fullscreen

The GUI starts the TCP server automatically on port 4000. Press Escape to leave fullscreen.

For a headless server without the touchscreen GUI:

python3 server.py

Run A Client

On each laptop or desktop that should appear on the Pi:

python3 client.py <pi-ip-address>

Example:

python3 client.py 192.168.1.50

Clients reconnect automatically if the Pi server restarts or the network drops.

Notes

• The dashboard is sized for an 800x480 7 inch Raspberry Pi touchscreen.
• Data is stored locally in resources.db.
• Each client sends CPU, memory, disk, and network throughput once per second.
