Monitor a single machine or an entire cluster with the same Docker image.
Single machine:
docker run -d --gpus all -p 1312:1312 ghcr.io/psalias2006/gpu-hot:latestMultiple machines:
# On each GPU server
docker run -d --gpus all -p 1312:1312 -e NODE_NAME=$(hostname) ghcr.io/psalias2006/gpu-hot:latest
# On a hub machine (no GPU required)
docker run -d -p 1312:1312 -e GPU_HOT_MODE=hub -e NODE_URLS=http://server1:1312,http://server2:1312,http://server3:1312 ghcr.io/psalias2006/gpu-hot:latestOpen http://localhost:1312
Older GPUs: Add -e NVIDIA_SMI=true if metrics don't appear.
Process monitoring: Add --init --pid=host to see process names. Note: This allows the container to access host process information.
From source:
git clone https://github.com/psalias2006/gpu-hot
cd gpu-hot
docker-compose up --buildRequirements: Docker + NVIDIA Container Toolkit
- Real-time metrics (sub-second)
- Automatic multi-GPU detection
- Process monitoring (PID, memory usage)
- Historical charts (utilization, temperature, power, clocks)
- System metrics (CPU, RAM)
- Scale from 1 to 100+ GPUs
Metrics: Utilization, temperature, memory, power draw, fan speed, clock speeds, PCIe info, P-State, throttle status, encoder/decoder sessions
Environment variables:
NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 # Specific GPUs (default: all)
NVIDIA_SMI=true # Force nvidia-smi mode for older GPUs
GPU_HOT_MODE=hub # Set to 'hub' for multi-node aggregation (default: single node)
NODE_NAME=gpu-server-1 # Node display name (default: hostname)
NODE_URLS=http://host:1312... # Comma-separated node URLs (required for hub mode)Backend (core/config.py):
