🫒Using OliveTin to Provide a Dashboard for Debian🐧

I have created a dashboard using Olive Tin which can be downloaded from github:

Its in the list of tools that I use:

Here OliveTin displays the result from the fastfetch tool:

The fastfetch binary used for Debian Buster is:

👉 https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/releases/download/2.16.0/fastfetch-linux-amd64.tar.gz

fastfetch is a replacement of neofetch which is a great tool but it has been sunsetted hence the use of fastfetch.

Here are the IPs on the device:

The command to display that is too long so a script is used:

#!/bin/bash
echo "WAN1 IP Address: $(ip -4 addr show eth1 | grep -oP '(?<=inet\s)\d+(\.\d+){3}' | head -1)"; echo "WAN2 IP Address: $(ip -4 addr show eth2 | grep -oP '(?<=inet\s)\d+(\.\d+){3}' | head -1)"; echo "WAN3 IP Address: $(ip -4 addr show eth3 | grep -oP '(?<=inet\s)\d+(\.\d+){3}' | head -1)"; echo "LAN Local: $(ip -4 addr show eth0 | grep -oP '(?<=inet\s)\d+(\.\d+){3}' | head -1)"; echo "LAN Gateway: $(ip -4 addr show eth0 | grep -oP '(?<=inet\s)\d+(\.\d+){3}' | sed -n '2p')"; echo "Public IP Address: $(curl -s ifconfig.me)"

This is a one minute test to the Internet and this case I'm using Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 as the target. The tool being used is prettyping, which provides the same look and feels as the extended ping of the Cisco cli.

The tool displays the disk space on the device:

The tool displays the console log:
