What is Glances?
Keep an eye on your server with Glances.
Glances, the open-source system monitor, shows what your server is doing right now: CPU, RAM, disk I/O, network traffic, processes and Docker containers on one screen that refreshes every few seconds. Instead of logging in over SSH and juggling top, htop and docker stats, you open a browser tab and see why a site feels slow. On ZAP-Hosting it runs on your own VPS, deployed from the Coolify marketplace with one click.
With root access to the VPS you decide how Glances sees the machine: mount the Docker socket to track every Coolify container, put the web UI behind a password and your own domain, or switch on the REST API for Home Assistant and your scripts. Need history? Export the metrics to Prometheus or InfluxDB and chart them in Grafana on the same server, right next to tools like Uptime Kuma.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Glances
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Order a VPS, open Coolify from your dashboard and pick Glances from the app marketplace. One click deploys the container in web server mode; setup is automated and your instance is online within minutes. Updates work the same way: redeploy the service with the newer image in Coolify. More in the Help Center
- Order a VPS and choose a location
- Open Coolify and select Glances
- Deploy and open the web UI
Glances itself is free and open source, so you only pay for the VPS it runs on. The price depends on your VPS package (RAM, CPU and storage), term and location; current starting prices are shown live in the pricing section above and in the shop.
- Glances software: free and open source
- You pay for the VPS package only
- Live prices straight from the shop
Glances is lightweight, so the entry plan usually covers it on its own. Size the VPS by the other apps you run next to it: a few small services fit a small plan, while databases or media apps need more RAM and CPU. Glances itself shows you when resources are getting tight.
- Glances alone: entry plan
- Plan by the apps running next to it
- Watch RAM and CPU headroom in Glances
Yes. Glances runs in web server mode, and Coolify publishes the web UI on a domain you assign, with HTTPS. Turn on the Glances password option so only you can log in, and use the firewall on your VPS if you want to limit access to certain IPs.
- Works on desktop and mobile browsers
- Own domain with HTTPS via Coolify
- Password protection for the web UI
Yes. Glances reads container data through the Docker socket, which you can mount read-only in the Coolify service settings. It then lists every container on the VPS, including the apps you deployed via Coolify, with CPU, memory, disk I/O and network usage per container.
- Per-container CPU and memory
- Disk I/O and network per container
- Covers all Coolify-deployed apps
Yes. Coolify is a full self-hosting platform, so you can deploy Uptime Kuma, Grafana and other marketplace apps on the same VPS. Glances then shows how much each of them uses, and its Prometheus or InfluxDB export can feed long-term charts in Grafana.
- Uptime Kuma for uptime checks
- Grafana for long-term dashboards
- Glances shows each app's resource use
You can book the VPS for 3, 30, 90, 180 or 365 days. You can cancel anytime; the cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term, and your Glances instance keeps running until then. How cancellation works
- Terms of 3, 30, 90, 180 or 365 days
- Cancel anytime in your dashboard
- Cancellation applies at term end
ZAP-Hosting offers VPS locations in Europe and America. Pick the one closest to you or to the servers Glances should watch; many North American users start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. Availability and prices can vary by location, and the shop shows what you can book.

Why doesn't Glances show my Docker containers?
Usually the Docker socket isn't mounted in the Glances container. I can walk you through adding a read-only mount for /var/run/docker.sock in the Coolify service settings and redeploying.
Is a read-only mount safe enough?
It limits what Glances can change, but the socket still exposes container details, so keep the web UI behind a password and your own HTTPS domain.
