LobsterBoard

LobsterBoard lets you assemble custom monitoring dashboards from 50 pre-built widgets using a visual drag-and-drop editor, covering everything from CPU and memory gauges to AI subscription trackers, stock tickers, and camera feeds on your own server with zero cloud dependencies. The snap-grid editor handles layout composition with resize handles and a property panel, so you drag widgets onto a canvas, configure their data sources, and the dashboard is live. Real-time system statistics flow through Server-Sent Events, updating CPU load, memory pressure, disk usage, network throughput, and Docker container status without page refreshes. Five built-in themes range from a dark default to a retro CRT terminal aesthetic, a warm sepia paper look, and pastel options for different display environments. The template gallery lets you export complete dashboard layouts with auto-captured screenshot previews, share them with other users, and import configurations as a full replacement or selective merge. Custom pages extend beyond dashboards into notes, kanban boards, or any free-form layout you need. Built-in widgets connect to iCal feeds for calendar events, RSS sources for news aggregation, weather APIs for local conditions, and financial data providers for cryptocurrency and stock prices. The whole system runs from a single server.cjs file with zero cloud dependencies or external frameworks. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console.
