Linux-API is a small REST API service for collecting and exposing metrics and user data for Linux systems. It is implemented in Python (FastAPI) and ships with Docker Compose configurations to run the required database services locally.

Full installation and configuration instructions are available in the project's documentation

Please consult the manual setup first for a step-by-step deployment on Ubuntu systems.

• REST API backend built with FastAPI for high performance and async handling
• User & authentication system with permission checks and admin controlsrols
• Metrics & monitoring system for observability and production diagnosticstics
• Per-route request metrics (counts, response times, percentiles, error rates)
• Status code tracking to detect failures and anomalies
• Global performance statistics for overall system health insights
• TimescaleDB integration for efficient time-series storage and long-term analysis
• Health & monitoring endpoints exposing system status and diagnosticstics
• Database readiness & migration checks for operational safetyfety
• PostgreSQL connection pooling for performance and reliability
• Rate limiting & security middleware to protect endpointsints
• Configurable legacy route support for backward compatibility
• Designed for production observability, debugging, and scalability
