Configuration

Next you will need to add the services you want to monitor, and optionally choose some appropriate emoji's. You can also configure actions to open up your browser when you click on the icon, which I find pretty handy.

~/.config/i3/i3status.conf

...
general {
        colors = true
        interval = 15
}

order += "http_monitor apache"
order += "http_monitor medusa"
order += "http_monitor pihole"
order += "http_monitor nextcloud"
order += "http_monitor plex"
order += "http_monitor virtualbox"
order += "http_monitor airsonic"
order += "clock"
order += "mail"
...

http_monitor  'nextcloud' {
   service_location = "http://yourserver:8181"
   service_name = '⛅'
   on_click 1 = "exec xdg-open http://yourserver:8181"
}

http_monitor  'virtualbox' {
   service_location = "http://yourserver:81/vb/"
   service_name = '💻'
   on_click 1 = "exec xdg-open http://yourserver:81/vb/"
}

http_monitor  'plex' {
   service_location = "http://yourserver:32400/web/index.html#"
   service_name = '🎥'
   on_click 1 = "exec xdg-open http://yourserver:32400/web/index.html#"
}

http_monitor  'airsonic' {
   service_location = "http://yourserver:4040"
   service_name = '🍃'
}

http_monitor  'pihole' {
   service_location = "http://yourserver:80"
   service_name = '🕳️ '
   on_click 1 = "exec xdg-open http://yourserver:80"
}

http_monitor  'apache' {
   service_location = "http://yourserver:81"
   service_name = '🪶'
}

http_monitor  'medusa' {
   service_location = "http://yourserver:8081"
   service_name = '🐍'
}

Configuration Options

You can pass in the following configuration options:

• service_location
• service_name
• timeout
• cache_timeout

Restart i3

Once the package is installed and configured you just need to restart i3.
