DOCSight

DOCSight monitors your DOCSIS cable connection around the clock, detects problems before you notice them, and helps you build evidence when your ISP falls short. The mobile-first PWA interface with themeable design works on any device -- install it to your home screen for instant access, even offline.

Getting Started

Your situation Where to go
First time, just want it running Quick Start -- 5 minutes with Docker
Need step-by-step for your platform Installation -- Docker, Synology, Unraid, Podman, Portainer
No Docker / bare metal Running without Docker
Want to try it first docker run -d -p 8765:8765 -e DEMO_MODE=true ghcr.io/itsdnns/docsight:latest

After setup: Configuration for fine-tuning, integrations, and admin password.

Features

Monitoring

  • Dashboard -- Mobile-first PWA with hero card, health rings, metric cards, and responsive channel tables
  • Connection Monitor -- Always-on latency, packet loss, outage tracking, and traceroute burst capture with ICMP or TCP probes, sample aggregation, and pinned days
  • Signal Trends -- Historical charts with DOCSIS reference zones
  • Before/After Comparison -- Side-by-side period comparison with presets, deltas, and health distribution
  • Channel Timeline & Compare -- Per-channel history and multi-channel overlay with URL-persistent state
  • Event Log -- Automatic anomaly detection (power drift, SNR drops, error spikes, modem restarts)
  • Smart Capture -- Auto-triggers speedtests on signal degradation events
  • Gaming Quality Index -- A-F grade for gaming readiness
  • Modulation Performance -- Per-protocol-group health index with intraday channel drill-down
  • Cable Segment Utilization -- FRITZ!Box cable segment load monitoring with correlation integration
  • In-App Glossary -- Contextual DOCSIS terminology help

Documentation & Evidence

Common Goals

"My internet is slow and I want proof" -- Start with Before/After Comparison or Correlation Analysis, upload your BNetzA measurement, then file a complaint.

"I want my Home Assistant to know about my connection" -- See Home Assistant Integration for MQTT setup and sensor list.

"I game and want to know if my connection is stable" -- Check the Gaming Quality Index and Signal Trends for jitter and latency patterns.

Community

  • Community Apps -- Third-party apps built on DOCSight (DOCSIOS for iOS/iPadOS)

Reference & Development


DOCSight is open source (MIT) and runs entirely on your local network. It works offline as a PWA -- no cloud dependency.
