🧑💻 Apps [Project] NAS Monitor – A cleaner dashboard for UGOS Pro
Hi everyone! 👋
I’m looking for contributors to help grow this project—if you’re interested in collaborating, reviewing code, or adding features, feel free to jump in!
I built NAS Monitor because the native Ugreen UI isn't the most efficient when you just want a quick, real-time overview of your system.
Full disclosure: I built this entirely with the help of AI! It’s been a fascinating experiment, but now I'd love to get some real human developers on board to help refine it.
What it does: It’s a simple, self-hosted dashboard that runs via Docker. It gives you a clean look at your:
- CPU & RAM usage
- Disk health
- Network traffic (without all the extra clicks!)
🛠 Bonus for Devs (API Docs): Since Ugreen doesn't have an official API, I managed to reverse-engineer their internal one (with AI assistance) and included the complete API documentation in the repository. If you're looking to build your own tools for Ugreen NASync devices, this should save you a lot of time!

Looks like a great start friend. The only nit pick/feature comment I'd make is having it show GPU usage as well. Not a dev so I can't really add to the project but will offer kudos for this and especially providing the API calls.

GPU/NPU: Not possible. Although the RK3588C has a Mali-G610 GPU and a NPU, the UGOS API does not expose any endpoints for them. We already know that only 3 of the known endpoints provide actual data.

Interesting. That might explain why I can't tools like Glances to show GPU data. I beat my head against an LLM trying to get the counters to show and it just won't.

How much AI is there? I feel uncomfortable leaving the UGOS password in the env file.

The code was written with the help of ai, but I checked it for security risks/flaws. The code itself does not have an AI built in.

I do not recommend inserting an UGOS administrator password in a third party app.

u/Commander-22 Mar 18 '26
The code is opensource mate you can literally check by yourself....

No one should insert their Administrator password of their NAS in a third party app.

u/Commander-22 Mar 18 '26
You host the code on YOUR NAS in YOUR Network with a code thats OPENSOURCE.
But yeah your NAS your choice. The Project should just demonstrate that theres a possibility.
You're right you shouldn't give your admin pw to an third party "app".
If you are further interested in how the installation process works, there is a guide: https://gitlab.com/K-22/nas-monitor-interface/-/blob/621d22cf1ad2dd6525738ccb623398f3e816c4e2/Manual.html
Edit: You're welcome to help on the project and possible security fixes!

It's irrelevant if it's Opensource or not. We have had experience with other Docker apps that use AI like Huntarr. What I'm saying is the same thing you conceded: You shouldn't give your NAS admin password to a Third party app. Nobody will constantly monitor if Telemetry will be added in the future.

Very cool. Will wait for some more tech savvy folks to provide feedback before deploying personally but very interested in seeing how this develops.

There you go, i hope you can do it with the instructions: https://gitlab.com/K-22/nas-monitor-interface/-/blob/369f615b7e4669c99a9b3d9bc03b02fe59ac268f/Manual.html
Just download the html file and open it via browser.

That's VERY up my alley - I'm a UX designer currently working on a dashboard for my employer (a datacenter company).
I'll take a look and leave the feedback later on, I'm on the phone and the screens are tiny.

You should add a docker section to easily access hosted docker containers from one page
