Your server dashboard, elegant and hosted in France
A minimalist and polished monitoring dashboard powered by dashdot, installed and maintained by DINAO. Your system metrics stay on your machine — no data transmitted externally.
What is dashdot?
dashdot (stylized as « dash. ») is a minimalist and polished server monitoring dashboard, described by its author as « the simplest way to monitor your single-node setup ». Where tools like Grafana or Netdata aim for comprehensiveness and fleet-wide supervision, dashdot takes the opposite approach: a lightweight and beautiful dashboard designed for a single server — typically a small VPS or private server.
The interface displays essential system metrics in real time: CPU usage, RAM memory, disk space, network activity, GPU performance, operating system information, uptime, and host machine details. All presented in a contemporary glassmorphism style, with dynamic backgrounds and smooth animations, making monitoring visually appealing without sacrificing readability.
dashdot is built with React on the frontend and Node.js/Express on the backend. This architecture ensures good responsiveness even on modest hardware, and the application runs entirely offline: everything stays on your machine, with no data transmitted externally. Configuration is done via environment variables, making it very easy to adapt.
The preferred deployment method is Docker: a lightweight image (~210 MB), multi-architecture (x86 and ARM64). Under the MIT license, dashdot is aimed at anyone seeking an elegant, instant monitoring dashboard without complex configuration — without the overhead of a full supervision stack. DINAO deploys and monitors it for you, on French soil.

Technical details
You might be wondering…
Can dashdot monitor multiple servers?
No, dashdot is designed for a single node. For multiple servers, DINAO deploys one instance per machine (or a dedicated multi-node tool).
Does monitoring data leave my machine?
No. dashdot runs entirely offline: no data is transmitted externally, everything stays local and hosted in France.
How is it configured?
Entirely via environment variables (widgets displayed, network/storage options, theme). DINAO pre-configures it for you in the container.
What resources does it consume?
Very little: it runs comfortably on a micro-VPS (~210 MB image, a few hundred MB of RAM), without a heavy metrics database.
Does it keep a history of metrics?
dashdot mainly displays real-time status and recent trends; it is not designed as a long-term historical system like Prometheus.
