[Show HN] I put my servers on a 3D globe -A lightweight monitoring dashboard with WebSSH

edited August 2025 in General

Hey folks, indie developer from China here. Been working on this monitoring tool for managing my VPS collection. Still in internal testing, but wanted to share the progress and get some early feedback.

What I built:
A self-hosted monitoring dashboard called DStatus. It has the usual monitoring stuff, but I added a 3D globe view because staring at tables all day gets boring.

Current features (beta testing):
- Real-time monitoring via WebSocket
- WebSSH terminal in browser
- 3D Earth visualization with live server status
- 24-hour bandwidth tracking
- Network quality monitoring (latency/packet loss)
- Experimental AI analysis (Gemini integration)
- SQLite default, PostgreSQL optional
- Lightweight enough for budget VPS

Technical stack:
- Node.js/Express backend, vanilla JS frontend
- Single binary deployment support
- Modular architecture with 16 business modules

Current limitations:
- Still in internal testing phase
- UI is currently in Chinese only (no i18n yet)
- Documentation mostly in Chinese
- Some rough edges and probably bugs

Future Plans

Planning to add internationalization once the core is stable. For now, the interface might be a bit challenging for non-Chinese speakers, but the 3D globe is universal, right? 😅

Would love to hear thoughts from the community, especially:
- Is the 3D visualization actually useful or just eye candy?
- What features do you consider must-have for server monitoring?
- Anyone interested in early testing despite the language barrier?

Always interesting to see how different regions approach infrastructure monitoring!
