Mini Resource screen in Proxmox

[ettill]

Greeting,

I was wondering if there is any way to connect a Mini 5" screen like the WOWNOVA 5" Computer Temp Monitor screen to Proxmox, I know they are are mainly designed for Windows.
There are many different types of mini screen resource monitoring hardware. I have looked are the Console based HTOP command .... and also install the sensors add in.

Just curious to see if there is a way to use a mini screen to display the CPU %, Ram % and Network % on some graphical type mini screen.

Even if there was a way to just have an open serial port to have it send out this info as a constant flow, cause i have a HMI screen from a older industrial machine that I salvaged that i could build an GUI to show these in, but i need to have a controllable serial input ..... like
"c1=25,ct1=30,r1=54,ni=04,no=26"
That would be Core1 25%, Core 1 temp 30c, RAM = 54%, Net in =04 kb/s, Net out 24kb/s

OR any other way to have a external mini screen that can display the resources ....

Any thoughts ?

Thanks in advance

That's a monitor that connects to USB-C, I am not sure Proxmox VE (or Debian/Linux) will be able to output display to it out of the box.

Similar monitors exist with VGA or HDMI connectivity, just grab one of those and you can easily configure a startup script to display whatever you want contonuously.

Thanks for your reply ... .. I was hoping to keep everything internal, and only have to connect to the usb on the motherboard headers.
Also there is only 1 HDMI port so I would like to leave it open in case I have some issue and need to trouble shoot locally.

I don't know if I could use the HTOP command and have the video only display the "graphical" section ... not the PID stuff.

Heck I would almost accept a not graphical type of older alpha numeric LCD screen if I could get a addon or script to output the data in the correct format to display.

Anyone else have suggestions

Thanks again.
