Raspberry Pi Datacenter Manager
LIVERaspberry Pi Datacenter Manager is a Raspberry Pi-based datacenter manager for monitoring and managing a datacenter.
Raspberry Pi · FastAPI · SQLite · React SPA · Docker

Overview
A production control plane for Raspberry Pi OS fleets. It provides the same operational shape as Proxmox Datacenter Manager: a global dashboard, fast search, aggregated task logs, guest lifecycle actions, and software-update visibility — adapted to Raspberry Pi hosts and Docker containers.
The Problem
Proxmox Datacenter Manager is a great tool for managing a datacenter, but it's not a good fit for Raspberry Pi OS fleets.
The Experience
- View live health, CPU/memory/disk pressure, load averages, SoC temperature, undervoltage/throttle flags, and outlier highlighting from Global dashboard.
- Fast global search across remotes, containers, apt packages, tasks.
- Start/stop/restart any Docker guest the agents can see.
- Review pending packages and refresh all remotes queues a new apt scan.
- Inspect command output and failures.
- rotate the enrollment token, create remotes, change the admin password.
Technology
- Built with FastAPI and SQLite.
- Uses React SPA for the frontend.
- Uses Docker for containerization.
Technical Decisions
- Use FastAPI for the backend because it's a lightweight backend framework.
- Use SQLite for the database because it's a lightweight database.
- Use React SPA for the frontend because it's a lightweight frontend framework.
- Use Docker for the containerization because it's a lightweight containerization library.
