Paul_Ber Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 LCDproc is a piece of open source software that displays real-time system information from your Linux/*BSD box on a LCD. The server supports several serial and USB devices from Matrix Orbital and CrystalFontz as well as some devices connected to the LPT port: HD44780, T6963, SED1520 and SED1330. Various clients are available that display things like CPU load, system load, memory usage, uptime, and a lot more. Sent from my XT1563 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
daze Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Very cool idea. I'd love to have it, especially on my headless and aging Acer H340. Quote Link to comment
Paul_Ber Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 I have been trying to get LCDproc working in a Docker and passing the /dev/bus/xxx/xxx and /dev/ttyUSBx with no luck. I tried passing the lis based panel to a Linux VM but somehow it causes my assigned keyboard to stop working. Sent from my XT1563 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
jmagella Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I concur this would be a very cool option. Quote Link to comment
Paul_Ber Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 I got the LCD character display working in a Windows 7 VM but of course that only shows stats for the VM. I do have problems with the LCD panel stopped working until an unRAID reboot. So much easier if it was part of unRAID natively. Sent from my XT1563 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

Sent from my XT1563 using Tapatalk Do you have the Dockerfile and related in a github repo somewhere? I'd like to take a look at this too. I have a LCD module somewhere in my $100 back of Arduino sensors. Quote Link to comment

disruptorx Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 In need of this as well..I used to have a FreeNAS box and was a breeze to install LCDproc in it..This feature will not only be cool but kinda is important for headless Boxes. Quote Link to comment
kornil Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hi! Any progress with LCDProc for unraid? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Paul_Ber Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 Yes this feature would be great. I had it working 10 years ago in a XBMC Linux system but I don't really understand how to do it for Unraid. Quote Link to comment

For docker, It still needs a (display) driver installed on the host. if it worked with XBMC, you could try installing the DVB plugin and installing the LibreELEC driver pack, a good chance the driver is included there already.

ricostuart Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I'll bump this thread as it would be mighty useful for us qnap converts! Quote Link to comment
Arbadacarba Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Love this idea myself... Though it couldn't work in a docker could it? why not a plug in in the base os? Quote Link to comment

I had it working 10 years ago in a XBMC Linux system but I don't really understand how to do it for Unraid. Do you have any configs when you had it working. I have compiled the source and created a package, but dont have any hardware to test. Any cost effective devices(USB Attached) in the UK? Found this will give it a go. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255851413557?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20220705100511%26meid%3Dd54116900433488faea8bc41a5db5894%26pid%3D101524%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D255851413557%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2&_trksid=p2380057.c101524.m146925&_trkparms=pageci%3A3ac32449-bb6d-11ed-acfd-7295087e6f43|parentrq%3Ab27626501860acd85d8c53fafffc34f2|iid%3A1 Edited March 5 by SimonF Quote Link to comment
