server-manager 0.0.32

Simple server usage monitor writen with flask

Server manager

is a simple server monitoring web dashboard with a couple of management features.

Installation

You can install server manager from pip:

$ pip install server-manager

Running the dashboard

To run the dashboard you have to use gunicorn (installed as a dependency)

run syntax:

$ python -m gunicorn -b host:port serverman.wsgi:app

if you have gunicorn installed as a system-wide package you can simply use gunicorn removing python -m

run command example:

$ python -m gunicorn -b 0.0.0.0:8080 serverman.wsgi:app

Explanation

python -m runs a python package, in this case gunicorn, the -b flag specifies bind, --bind can also be used , this binds the wsgi server to a certain server and port, in this case 0.0.0.0 and port 8080.

The host 0.0.0.0 is used so the server can be accessible network wide. The port really can be specified to anything except ports like 80 or 443, that require escalated privileges. For the server to be accessible on port 80 or 443 both the flask and gunicorn documentations recommend using a reverse proxy like apache httpd and nginx.
