I think this code would work-

Has this an webui? The link above is for the "sensor" - the "sensor" (is for me) an child ?

[MickLesk]

I see absolutely no use for such a sensor in a bulky LXC?

[FahadSalim]

There is no need since it’s supposed to setup on the node itself not in lxc or vm.

[MickLesk]

Then is an script not needed. Its an 1 Line bash from there Website

You can run it on Alpine with only 32 mb RAM if you don't want to put it directly on the node. It is in active development with near weekly updates.

[hybridlinux]

also, putting it in an LXC allows you to isolate to a VLAN.
