💾 Setup Scrutiny — Self-Hosted S.M.A.R.T. Drive Health Monitor
Deploy Scrutiny on Ubuntu with Docker — a modern S.M.A.R.T. monitoring tool that reads drive health data via smartctl, stores historical metrics in InfluxDB, and alerts you to critical failures before your disks die.
⚠️ Always review any script before running it on your server. Test in a staging environment first.
