What is Raspberry-Pi-Dashboard?
Raspberry Pi Dashboard is a self-hosted PHP web application that runs on a standard web server to provide a browser-based interface for monitoring Raspberry Pi systems. It displays live CPU temperature, frequency, and load with customizable warning thresholds, plus detailed system information including storage usage, core voltage, USB devices, kernel version, and network configuration. The dashboard includes password-protected access with the default password 'root' stored as an MD5 hash, remote shutdown and reboot capabilities with scheduling options, a responsive mobile-friendly UI, and both manual and automatic dark theme switching. Installation requires a web server (Lighttpd or Apache) with PHP and can be done via an installer script or manual git clone with permission setup for the www-data user. Optional advanced hardware info requires adding the www-data user to the video group and installing libraspberrypi-bin on non-Raspberry Pi OS distributions.
