A new major update for Beacon just dropped. Version 1.4.0 is now available!

🖼️ Introducing Beacon Canvas!

  • You can now build your own pages under Canvas in the sidebar and share
    them with people who have no account.
  • Pages are made of blocks that you drag onto a grid, place anywhere and
    resize: charts, big numbers, gauges, status, system info, uptime bars,
    alerts, device cards, text and more.
  • Every metric from a device's Overview tab can go on a page, for one device,
    as a total or average across several, or as one line per device.
  • Text blocks come with a full editor for headings, lists, links and colours,
    and charts and gauges can take any colour you pick.
  • New pages can start from a template: a server overview, a status page or a
    fleet wall for a TV.

🔗 Sharing

  • Every page gets its own address and can be public, behind a secret link,
    protected with a password or open to Beacon accounts only.
  • Other websites can embed a whole page or a single block, and value, gauge
    and status blocks are also available as live badge images.
  • Published pages update live, fit any screen down to a phone, and change for
    every visitor as soon as you publish again.
  • Visitors only ever receive what a page shows, never hostnames, addresses or
    process lists.
