Architecture

The dashboard is two separate processes:

1. FastAPI backend (dashboard/api/, port 18888) -- aggregates data from Portainer, Prometheus, Ollama, SQLite databases, log files, and external APIs (Jellyfin, Sonarr, Radarr, etc.)
2. Next.js frontend (dashboard/ui/, port 3100) -- SPA with SSE for real-time updates and SWR polling for periodic data refresh

Data flow

Browser  -->  Next.js (port 3100)  --rewrites /api/*-->  FastAPI (port 18888)
                                                              |
                                                    +---------+---------+
                                                    |         |         |
                                               Portainer  Prometheus  SSH(olares)
                                               (5 endpoints)  (PromQL)  (kubectl, nvidia-smi)
                                                    |         |         |
                                               SQLite DBs  Log files  External APIs
                                              (email, restarts) (/tmp/*.log)  (Sonarr, Radarr, etc.)

• The backend reuses scripts/lib/ modules (portainer.py, ollama.py, prometheus.py) via lib_bridge.py
• The frontend uses Next.js rewrites (next.config.ts) to proxy /api/* to the backend, so the browser never contacts port 18888 directly
• Real-time activity feed uses Server-Sent Events (SSE) with automatic reconnection (5s backoff)
• SWR polling with configurable intervals handles periodic data refresh
• Theme selection stored in localStorage under key homelab-theme

Features

AI Chat Widget

Bottom-left floating chat powered by Ollama (qwen3-coder). Enriches every query with:

• Live container counts, GPU status, email stats, Ollama status
• Contextual enrichment based on keywords (Headscale nodes for network questions, Jellyfin status for media questions, AdGuard stats for DNS questions)
• Repo doc search -- keyword-matches against docs/ and scripts/ markdown and Python files
• Responds with current data, not cached/stale answers

Quick Actions

Buttons on the Dashboard page that trigger backend actions:

• Restart Jellyfin -- kubectl rollout restart on Olares
• Restart Ollama -- kubectl rollout restart on Olares
• Pause organizers -- stops all 3 email organizer cron jobs via gmail-organizer-ctl.sh stop
• Resume organizers -- starts all 3 via gmail-organizer-ctl.sh start
• Run backup -- triggers gmail-backup-daily.sh

Health Score

Scored 0-100 based on:

• Container health: -4 per non-running container (max -40)
• Unhealthy containers: -10 per unhealthy (max -20)
• GPU available: -10 if unavailable
• Ollama available: -10 if offline
• Backup status: -10 if errors, -5 if no log
• Config drift: -10 if drift detected

Grades: A (90+), B (80+), C (70+), D (60+), F (<60)

Cmd+K Global Search

Press Cmd+K (or Ctrl+K) to open a command palette that searches across all pages, containers, services, and actions. Fuzzy matching with keyboard navigation.

Click-to-Copy

IP addresses, hostnames, and other copyable values show a copy icon on hover. Clicking copies to clipboard with a toast confirmation.

Loading Skeletons and Empty States

All data cards show animated skeleton placeholders while loading. When a service is unavailable or returns no data, a descriptive empty state is shown instead of a blank card.

Custom Favicon

Custom homelab favicon (dashboard/ui/app/favicon.ico).

How to Run

Prerequisites

• Python 3.12+ with pip
• Node.js 22+
• SSH access to olares, calypso, pi-5 (for GPU, Headscale, Kuma queries)
• Access to Portainer API (192.168.0.200:9443)
• Access to Prometheus (for disk usage queries)

Start API (development)

cd dashboard/api
pip install -r requirements.txt
uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 18888 &

Start UI (development)

cd dashboard/ui
npm install
BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:18888 npm run dev -- -p 3100

Start UI (production)

cd dashboard/ui
BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:18888 npm run build
cp -r .next/static .next/standalone/.next/static
cp -r public .next/standalone/public
BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:18888 HOSTNAME=0.0.0.0 PORT=3100 node .next/standalone/server.js

Docker deployment

cd dashboard
docker compose up -d

Note: The docker-compose.yml uses network_mode: host and maps ports 8888 (API) and 3000 (UI). For production use, override the ports via environment variables or edit the compose file to use 18888/3100.

Backend Dependencies

From dashboard/api/requirements.txt:

• fastapi==0.115.12
• uvicorn[standard]==0.34.2
• httpx==0.28.1
• pyyaml>=6.0
• sse-starlette==2.3.3

Plus the shared scripts/lib/ modules (mounted as a volume in Docker, or on the Python path when running directly).

Key Files

Path	Purpose
dashboard/api/main.py	FastAPI app entry point, router registration
dashboard/api/lib_bridge.py	Bridges scripts/lib/ modules into the API
dashboard/api/log_parser.py	Parses automation logs into structured events for SSE
dashboard/api/routers/*.py	API route handlers (9 routers)

dashboard/ui/lib/api.ts	API client (fetchAPI, postAPI)
dashboard/ui/lib/use-sse.ts	SSE hook with auto-reconnect
dashboard/ui/next.config.ts	Next.js config with /api/* rewrite to backend

Troubleshooting

Problem	Cause	Fix
No data loading	API not running on port 18888	Start uvicorn: uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 18888
"Invalid Date" in UI	API returning unexpected date format	Check backend response format, look at the specific router
Text hard to read on a theme	CSS custom property issue	Check dashboard/ui/lib/themes.ts for the theme's vars block, verify --foreground and --muted-foreground contrast
SSE not connecting	/api/activity endpoint not responding	Check API is running, check Next.js rewrite in next.config.ts, check browser console for EventSource errors
Calendar empty	Baikal unreachable	Verify Baikal at http://192.168.0.200:12852 is running
GPU card shows unavailable	SSH to olares failing	Test ssh -o ConnectTimeout=3 olares nvidia-smi manually
Headscale shows empty	SSH to calypso failing	Test ssh calypso "sudo docker exec headscale headscale nodes list -o json"
Kuma monitors empty	SSH to pi-5 or sqlite3 query failing	Test ssh pi-5 "docker exec uptime-kuma sqlite3 /app/data/kuma.db 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM monitor'"
Chat returns "Ollama is currently offline"	Ollama not running on Olares	Check Ollama pod: kubectl get pods -n ollamaserver-shared
Container logs failing	Wrong endpoint param	Ensure ?endpoint=atlantis (or other valid endpoint) is passed

Tdarr Version Sync

All 5 Tdarr instances must run the same version. Images are pinned by SHA digest, not :latest tag.

Host	Role	Hardware	Deployment
Atlantis	Server + Node	CPU (Xeon)	hosts/synology/atlantis/arr-suite/docker-compose.yml
Calypso	Node	CPU (Ryzen R1600)	hosts/synology/calypso/tdarr-node/docker-compose.yaml
Guava	Node	VAAPI (Radeon 760M)	hosts/truenas/guava/tdarr-node/docker-compose.yaml
PVE LXC 103	Node	QSV (Intel)	hosts/proxmox/lxc/tdarr-node/docker-compose.yaml
Olares	Node	NVENC (RTX 5090)	olares/tdarr-node.yaml (K8s manifest)

Olares Node (fastest)

• RTX 5090 with NVENC: h264_nvenc, hevc_nvenc, av1_nvenc all working
• Deployed as K8s Deployment in tdarr-node namespace on Olares
• HAMI bypass: runtimeClassName: nvidia, no nvidia.com/gpu resource requests
• NFS mounts: /mnt/atlantis_media (media, read-only) + /mnt/atlantis_cache (cache, read-write)
• Calico GlobalNetworkPolicy allow-lan-to-tdarr for LAN ingress + all egress
• Recommended workers: GPU=2, CPU=0, Health check=1
• Custom Olares chart available at olares/tdarr-node-chart.tgz

Auto-update prevention

• All Docker nodes have com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=false label
• PVE LXC cron (/etc/cron.d/tdarr-update) was removed
• Guava Watchtower label flipped from true to false
• Olares node uses pinned digest in K8s manifest

To update all nodes

1. Get new digest: check ghcr.io/haveagitgat/tdarr and tdarr_node latest digest
2. Update all 5 files (4 compose + 1 K8s manifest) with the new digest
3. Push to git — Atlantis/Calypso auto-deploy via GitOps
4. Manually redeploy Guava: ssh guava "cd /mnt/data/tdarr-node && sudo docker compose pull && sudo docker compose up -d"
5. Manually redeploy PVE: ssh pve "pct exec 103 -- bash -c 'cd /opt/tdarr && docker compose pull && docker compose up -d'"
6. Redeploy Olares: ssh olares "kubectl apply -f -" < olares/tdarr-node.yaml
