AI Analysis

●●SolidSolve My ProblemShip It

Lightweight monitoring for self-hosted LiveKit when LiveKit Cloud exists.

Strengths

•Single binary (Rust+React) with small ~21MB Docker image, minimal ops overhead
•Real webhook integration for session history, not just polling APIs
•Focused problem scope: solves specific LiveKit visibility gap in self-hosted setups

Weaknesses

•Niche audience—only useful if already running self-hosted LiveKit
•No obvious differentiation from building custom dashboards using LiveKit SDK directly

Post Description

I built livekit-monitor this weekend after needing better visibility into our self-hosted LiveKit instances.

LiveKit Cloud has great monitoring tools, but I couldn’t find a lightweight option for self-hosted deployments. This project is a small Rust + React app (single binary) that lets you track: rooms and participants, session history, egress and ingress activity and etc.

Repo: https://github.com/jossephus/livekit-monitor

It also ships as a small Docker image (~21 MB).

If you run self-hosted LiveKit, I’d really appreciate it if you'd try it out.

Thanks!
