Proper Windows Monitoring Integration in Homarr?
I’ve been setting up my Homarr dashboard and hit a wall with system monitoring on Windows. I wanted to display my Windows 11 host stats (CPU, RAM, disk usage, network speeds, etc.)
I tried Dashdot but as I later found out, it doesn’t really work on Windows, since it's restricted in WSL/Docker. Dashdot documentation says Windows support is basically impossible.
I looked around for other options I could iframe into Homarr but that's getting more complex, and other promising solutions on the outside like Netdata's free version are locked behind a paid subscription for Windows (free users can’t even view local stats 😭)
It’s surprising how little support there is for Windows; I'm sure I'm not the only wanting a dashboard for my Windows mini PC.
Is there any official or community-supported integration for pulling Windows host stats into Homarr?
Could Homarr consider supporting Windows exporters (like WMI Exporter or Glances on Windows) as proper integrations?
Or is the only real path somehow making and embedding Grafana panels manually?
I'd love to hear how others solved this, or if there’s something I’m missing. Thanks.

Can I install Homarr on a Raspberry Pi?
I've got Dash.dot working well in Windows Server 2022 and Windows 11
Use 1 or the other of these, depending on whether you have a GPU. You can also add more configuration to the files to monitor more.
Dash.dot
-----------------------
docker container run --name dashdot --restart always -it -p 90:3001 -v /:/mnt/host:ro --privileged mauricenino/dashdot
Dash.dot - GPU
------------------------
docker container run --name dashdot --restart always -it -p 90:3001 -v /:/mnt/host:ro --gpus all --env DASHDOT_WIDGET_LIST="os,cpu,storage,ram,network,gpu" --privileged mauricenino/dashdot:nvidia
