Pulse on Ubuntu 24.04 by cloudimg

Real time monitoring for Proxmox, Proxmox Backup Server and Docker, secure by default.
Pulse on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Pulse is an open source, lightweight, real time monitoring dashboard for Proxmox VE and Proxmox Backup Server, and for Docker hosts, Kubernetes, TrueNAS and vSphere. It gives you one clean web view of your infrastructure: live node, VM and container metrics, storage and datastore capacity, backup and snapshot status, and smart threshold based alerts, all updating in real time over a WebSocket connection.
Pulse is a single Go binary that serves both the REST API and the web UI. This cloudimg image runs it behind nginx as a TLS terminating reverse proxy, so the dashboard answers over HTTPS the moment the instance boots.
Secure by default
Pulse has no default administrator. On the first boot of every deployed VM a one shot service mints a unique administrator password and a per VM self signed TLS certificate, writes the login to a root only file, and the service refuses to start on an empty or example password. The configuration store ships empty, with no monitored targets and no stored API tokens, so you connect your own Proxmox, Proxmox Backup Server or Docker endpoints on first use and no two deployments share a secret. A local firewall admits only SSH, HTTP and HTTPS, so the application port is never exposed directly.
What you get
- Pulse v6.1.2 behind an nginx TLS reverse proxy, enabled and active as systemd services
- A per VM administrator login and TLS certificate generated at first boot, in a root only file
- An empty, ready to configure data directory: connect your own Proxmox VE, PBS or Docker targets
- A fully patched Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base with unattended security upgrades enabled
- A step by step deployment guide and 24/7 cloudimg support
