I’ve decided to try my hand at creating a dashboard that will allow you to control multiple servers in a single pane of glass.
I originally designed it to work for Emby but then added Plex and Jellyfin support as my “oh, this seems interesting” factor grew.
I know there are Dashboards for each platform, but none seem designed around multiple servers. So this project will display all your servers, how many viewers, detail about their sessions, etc. You can scan libraries and even search for users/media that are active across all servers. I’m finding it a hoot to play with so I thought I’d share it if anyone wants to give it a go.
My thought behind this was to quickly see connected users and be able to search by a username and find out which server they are on, what kind of container they are watching - quickly for troubleshooting. Yes, the built in dashboards are FAR more extensible, but this was originally conceived as a Home Assistant dashboard I could have running on a tablet.
I’m *not* a coder - I have some “better than basic” understanding of PHP but I’m an old dude and therefore behind the times. I did make use of the “Jules” platform to assist in the coding.
Bascially, please be gentle, I’m sure there are 1000 ways for this to be improved … I just wanted to play an little and try to give something back to a community I care so much for. I also am learning about how Github works (I’ve never really used it) so it’s likely I’ve effed something up… Let me know if anything’s out of the ordinary.
I appreciate your taking a peek at my little thought experiment.
The project is on GutHub @ https://github.com/Tophicles/dash - screenshots and docs are there. Video of it in action is here https://youtu.be/FaaaFzVdU10
