Pulse
Real-time monitoring for Proxmox, Docker, and Kubernetes infrastructure.
🚀 Overview
Pulse is a modern, unified dashboard for monitoring your infrastructure across Proxmox, Docker, and Kubernetes. It consolidates metrics, alerts, and AI-powered insights from all your systems into a single, beautiful interface.
Designed for homelabs, sysadmins, and MSPs who need a "single pane of glass" without the complexity of enterprise monitoring stacks.
✨ Features
Core Monitoring
- Unified Monitoring: View health and metrics for PVE, PBS, PMG, Docker, and Kubernetes in one place
- Smart Alerts: Get notified via Discord, Slack, Telegram, Email, and more
- Auto-Discovery: Automatically finds Proxmox nodes on your network
- Metrics History: Persistent storage with configurable retention
- Backup Explorer: Visualize backup jobs and storage usage
AI-Powered
- Chat Assistant (BYOK): Ask questions about your infrastructure in natural language
- Patrol (BYOK): Background health checks that generate findings on a schedule
- Alert Analysis (Pro): Optional AI analysis when alerts fire
- Cost Tracking: Track usage and costs per provider/model
Multi-Platform
- Proxmox VE/PBS/PMG: Full monitoring and management
- Kubernetes: Complete K8s cluster monitoring via agents
- Docker/Podman: Container and Swarm service monitoring
- OCI Containers: Proxmox 9.1+ native container support
Security & Operations
- Secure by Design: Credentials encrypted at rest, strict API scoping
- One-Click Updates: Easy upgrades for supported deployments
- OIDC/SSO: Single sign-on authentication
- Privacy Focused: No telemetry, all data stays on your server
⚡ Quick Start
Option 1: Proxmox LXC (Recommended)
Run this one-liner on your Proxmox host to create a lightweight LXC container:
curl -fsSL https://github.com/rcourtman/Pulse/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash
Note: this installs the Pulse server. Agent installs use the command generated in Settings → Agents → Installation commands (served from /install.sh on your Pulse server).
Option 2: Docker
docker run -d \
--name pulse \
-p 7655:7655 \
-v pulse_data:/data \
--restart unless-stopped \
rcourtman/pulse:latest
Access the dashboard at http://<your-ip>:7655.

Pulse Patrol runs on your schedule (every 10 minutes to every 7 days, default 6 hours) and finds:
- ZFS pools approaching capacity
- Backup jobs that silently failed
- VMs stuck in restart loops
- Clock drift across cluster nodes
- Container health check failures
Pulse Patrol uses your configured provider (BYOK) and runs entirely on your server.
Technical highlights:
- Cross-system context (nodes, VMs, backups, containers, and metrics history)
- LLM analysis with your provider + alert-triggered deep dives (Pro)
- Optional auto-fix with command safety policies and audit trail
- Centralized agent profiles for consistent fleet settings
