Using panelEvery page

Home

Until the machine has answered, Home shows its shape — the sentence, the tiles, the traffic and today — as grey shapes, and says nothing yet.

Home says how things are in one sentence — "Everything is fine.", "Two things need a look." — with the internet and who is home on the line under it. Below it are four tiles, what is worth a look, the traffic, and what happened today.

The tiles

The tiles follow what the machine is:

• A router: the internet now, the devices online, blocking (how many sites the lists hold), and this panel's version.
• A NAS: storage free, the disks (mirrored, and whether all is well), and the shares with how many people use them now.
• Self-hosted: how many apps run, storage, and memory.

With several on, each kind's first tile comes first. A tile opens its page. A tile with nothing to say is not drawn.

Worth a look

Shown in amber, and only while there is something: a problem on any page, another panel's problems, a version ready to install, or Debian's updates wanting a restart or failing. Each opens what it is about. A panel that is not answering is said on its own card, not here: one switched off is not a problem.

Traffic

What the internet port is carrying: download and upload now, each with its peak in the last day (the highest reading, leaving out only the first after the panel was off), and a chart of the last minute. The chips change it to the last hour, day or 30 days. The list beside them picks another port; Keep makes that one the default, here and on the old Home.

Point at the chart (tap it on a phone) for a dot on each line at that moment, with the time and both figures beside them.

On every machine, router or not; on one that is not a router it charts the port the internet goes out on.

Today

What happened today, a line each: a device seen for the first time, a cable in or out, the internet lost or back, sign-ins, changes kept or undone, VPN devices coming and going. A line opens what it is about. The whole week is on Activity.
