This Ansible Role will set up a Matt-Cloud host as a SSD health monitoring platform.

When the GUI is not installed and it is requested, the terminal will auto login and show the information for the currently attached drives.

The historical data is stored locally in a SQLite database which is managed by a Python Flask API. It can be viewed on a web dashboard at port 80.

The live dashboard is at the root, and the history is at /history, thanks nginx.

There may be issues with some of the status commands due to hardware differences. I have only found an issue when using the NanoPi devices and have included the corrected string. journalctl is your friend, get to know it.

When deployed with Matt-Cloud Jenkins there is a Chromium kiosk option that will allow the live dashboard to be deployed as a local kiosk.

Instead of using an API key with the python service, I am binding everything to the docker interface to keep it unreachable externally. It's easier and good enough, it's not like this is the nuclear codes or anything.
