Plex Server Stats You Didn’t Know You Needed

Techno Tim @technotim.bsky.social · Sep 22

I put together the Ultimate Plex Dashboard using Prometheus + Grafana to track:

- CPU & GPU utilization
- Disk health (SMART)
- Network throughput
- Active Plex sessions & transcodes
- Library stats

All in one place. 📊

For sure. I am not sure why they chose to ship Windows with their custom software, seems like building on top of Linux would have been easier.

Everyone thinks this is a NAS. I don't. It's a low power Proxmox LXC Server and it's awesome!

That's awesome. I run a few clusters too. Sounds like mini kube might work on your laptop!

"Keep your data close… but your apps closer."
My new setup runs Docker apps on TrueNAS the clean way — using Compose, .env, and no hacks.

My Google Nest detect just announced that there was smoke in the basement. I ran down there to find nothing. It was a false alarm however nothing was logged in the app? ?? Kind of scary…

I am giving away a JetKVM that I backed on Kickstater. It's a great little device used to remote control a computer. Used but in great condition. Details in Discord (just search for my discord)

I am giving away the UniFi Hi-Capacity Aggregation (USW-Pro-Aggregation) that was also featured in today's video. This is a great working switch that I actually bought used and want to pass it along to someone else rather than selling it.

4 switches. $2,857 later… still not the right setup.
Then I spent $2,742 on the one that finally solved it.

This is what Buy Once, Cry Once looks like in tech.

I used mergerfs a little. I liked how easy it was and the fact that if you lost your drive you only lost some of your data and not all (IIRC) but I’ve settled on ZFS since both Proxmox and TrueNAS use it
