So what is Conky? Conky is a free, light-weight system monitor for X, that displays any kind of information on your desktop and works on Raspberry Pi. It is highly configurable and is able to monitor many system variables including the status of the CPU, memory, swap space, disk storage, temperatures, processes, and much more.

Features:

Conky can display more than 300 built-in objects, including support for:

  • A plethora of OS stats (uname, uptime, CPU usage, mem usage, disk usage, “top” like process stats, and network monitoring, just to name a few).
  • Built-in IMAP and POP3 support.
  • Built-in support for many popular music players (MPD, XMMS2, BMPx, Audacious).
  • Can be extended using built-in Lua support, or any of your own scripts and programs (more).
  • Built-in Imlib2 and Cairo bindings for arbitrary drawing with Lua (more).
  • Runs on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFlyBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, Haiku OS, and macOS and much much more.

There is a great installation guide over at Nova Spirit Tech. I have copied it for your convenience below.

How to Install Conky:

I am sorry to say that there is no GUI install for Conky so we are going to have it install it from the command line. Open a terminal window and copy and paste the BLUE CODE below:

sudo apt-get install conky -y

Now download the conky configuration file

wget -O /home/pi/.conkyrc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/novaspirit/rpi_conky/master/rpi3_conkyrc

To autostart conky on boot we will need to create 2 files:

1. will be a shell script to delay the boot process of conky.

Mac

2. will be the conky desktop files to allow lxdesktop to start the shell script

To create the shell script

sudo nano /usr/bin/conky.sh

Conky

Paste this into the conky.sh file

#!/bin/sh
(sleep 4s && conky) &
exit 0

Now create the conky.desktop file for the autostart process

sudo nano /etc/xdg/autostart/conky.desktop

Then paste this into the file

[Desktop Entry]
Name=conky
Type=Application
Exec=sh /usr/bin/conky.sh
Terminal=false
Comment=system monitoring tool.
Categories=Utility;

The last thing to do is to reboot to make sure everything is working. As you can see from the following picture it is!

I have included the video below for your step by step installation. In the above picture, I installed it on my Raspberry Pi 3B+. In the video below I installed it on my Raspberry Pi Zero WH.

Preface

Conky For Mac Torrent

I’m so excited with the release of Conky V1.10.The latest conky configuration is actualy a Lua file.It is very flexible, compared with the old plain text Conky Configuration.We can separate the long old conky TEXT, into separate Lua function.

One application benefit from this Conky Lua Config is i3status.Before we get too deep, let’s see the old way of configuring i3status with Conky.

1: The i3 config

I assume that you have already familiar with i3 config.

Reading:

The only thing you need to concern is the bar section.We will change the status_command few times.

You can check my dotfiles here

I put two configs, one the original i3-wm, and the other for i3-gaps.Just copy one of them to ~/.config/i3/config

There are others i3 variant, e.g sway for wayland,and i3bgbar with powerline looks (deprecated).I haven’t explore the configuration yet.

In order to see change,each time changing status_command,you must restart i3 with Mod+Shift+ror utilizing command line.

2: Using i3bar

AFAIK there are three kind of configurationthat can be used as a feed to i3bar.

i3status

Let’s copy the default i3status configuration.

And make your own customization.

i3blocks

Let’s copy the default i3blocks configuration.

And make your own customization.

Conky

Example

We can have many i3bar in i3wm.Each configured in different bar section.

3: Plain Conky

This is how we do conky in a very simple way,before Conky v.1.10, and without JSON.

And this is the conkyrc file

Conky Config as Lua

Just like what I said before,the latest Conky v1.10 configuration is actually a Lua file.

And you see the difference in this conkyrc.lua file.

Reading:

4: Conky as JSON Feed

Once again, we have to change the status_command.This time we are using a shell script to start json header.And this script will call conky.

The conkyrc.lua started to look a bit complicated right now. The conky.config part is the same as above.But the conky.text is very differentto accomodate i3bar JSON protocol.

This script is only using two monitoring widgets,it is mpd and time.For many monitoring widget, we should reduce the complexity.

Reading

5: Modular

You can make your own modular script for your own needs. This just a sample.

The i3 config

Mine using two bars. Top and Bottom.

The Lua Helper

Since we want to reduce complexity,we create a function for each json parts in jsonhelper.lua.

I provide few functions

  • jsonhelper.separator()
  • jsonhelper.icon()
  • jsonhelper.text()
  • jsonhelper.value()
  • jsonhelper.common()

Conky For Mac Free

The last one is just a call to all other function at once [separator, icon, text, value].So we call them in just one line.

The dollar $ syntax indicate conky variables.

You can check the rest of the file in github

If you need more icon you can copy-paste from FontAwesome cheatsheet,but be aware that it is not always work with other font.

The Parts Lua

Now we need another file to define conky parts as functions.

You can check the rest of the file in github

Main Conkyrc Script

Now we can call this script in conky.text in main conkyrc.lua file.

You can check the rest of the file in github

6: Miscellanous

Changing Color

This is a bonus parts.For your convenience I put two colorschemes.It is for dark and bright wallpaper.Of course you can add your own colorscheme.

Font Problem

Do not forget to install font to enable your icons.

Conclusion

After all this is just a config.You may modify this config to suit your needs.
