Kula is a lightweight, self-contained Linux server monitoring tool written in Go that ships as a single binary with zero dependencies. It reads metrics directly from /proc and /sys every second, stores them in a built-in tiered ring-buffer, and serves them via a real-time Web UI dashboard, a terminal TUI, and a Prometheus exporter endpoint.

Use cases

• monitor a linux vps in real time
• single binary server monitoring with no external database
• watch cpu memory network and disk metrics from a terminal tui
• self-hosted server dashboard that works on closed networks
• export linux server metrics to prometheus
• monitor docker containers and cgroups on a server
• track gpu load and temperatures on a linux box

When to choose

• you want zero-dependency, single-binary monitoring for a Linux server or VPS
• you need real-time 1-second-resolution metrics with a web dashboard and TUI
• you want privacy-first monitoring with no cloud calls or external databases
• you need a built-in Prometheus exporter without extra agents

When to avoid

• you need multi-host fleet monitoring or centralized aggregation across many servers
• you require long-term historical metric retention beyond ring-buffer tiers
• you need monitoring on non-Linux platforms, since Kula reads /proc and /sys directly
• you need alerting and notification pipelines out of the box
