rcourtman/Pulse

Real-time monitoring dashboard for Proxmox VE, PBS, Docker, Kubernetes, TrueNAS and vSphere. Self-hosted, with alerts for failed backups, full disks, unhealthy containers and offline nodes.

What it solves

Pulse provides a unified, self-hosted monitoring workspace for infrastructure platforms like Proxmox, Docker, Kubernetes, and TrueNAS. It solves the problem of fragmented monitoring by consolidating live state, history, alerts, and recovery visibility into a single interface, while using AI-driven analysis to identify issues that standard dashboards often miss.

How it works

Pulse monitors infrastructure via platform APIs or a unified host agent. It features a component called "Pulse Patrol" that performs scheduled health checks across your environment. Users can integrate their own local or external AI models to perform watch-only analysis of infrastructure state. The system also includes an interactive Assistant and an MCP (Model Context Protocol) adapter, allowing external AI clients to query the infrastructure inventory and metrics securely.

Who it’s for

It is designed for system administrators, DevOps engineers, and home-lab enthusiasts who need a centralized, operator-controlled way to monitor diverse virtualized and containerized environments without relying on complex enterprise monitoring stacks.

Highlights

  • Unified Monitoring: Aggregates data from Proxmox, Docker, Kubernetes, TrueNAS, and physical/virtual machines into one shared resource model.
  • AI-Powered Analysis: Uses "Pulse Patrol" to run scheduled checks and supports custom AI providers for intelligent infrastructure observation.
  • Operator-Controlled: Prioritizes security with encrypted credentials, scoped API tokens, and disabled-by-default command execution.
  • Extensible AI Integration: Provides an MCP adapter and interactive assistant to allow AI agents to interact with infrastructure data safely.
  • Flexible Deployment: Supports Docker, Kubernetes, and native Linux installations with a signed, secure installer.

    RekklesNA/ProxmoxMCP-Plus

    ProxmoxMCP-Plus is a bridge that lets AI agents (via MCP) and standard HTTP tools (via OpenAPI) safely operate a Proxmox VE virtualization server, covering VM/LXC lifecycle, snapshots, backups, ISOs, container commands, and persistent job tracking. It emphasizes security with API tokens, command policies, approval gates, and TLS validation, and supports local stdio, Docker-based HTTP, and an opt-in sandboxed Code Mode. An optional OAuth browser-gate flow backed by PostgreSQL handles remote client authentication.
