Its GitHub repository was created in 2022 and exposes a command under go.vxn.dev/dish/cmd/dish. ### Adoption history dish is young compared with classic Unix monitoring tools, but its README shows package-manager and Go-module adoption paths: go install, Homebrew, manual GitHub releases, Docker examples, and a pkg.go.dev module page. ### How it is used Users run dish with a local JSON file or remote REST JSON API source, then optionally send results to a remote API, Telegram, Prometheus Pushgateway, webhook, or Discord. Its one-shot design makes it natural for cron jobs and small decentralized monitors. ### Why package nerds care dish is package-nerd interesting as the minimal end of monitoring: a single CLI, JSON input, zero runtime dependencies, and output integrations that avoid running a full agent stack. ### Timeline - 2022: GitHub repository created. - 2020s: README documents Go install, Homebrew, release binaries, Docker, and cron usage. ### Related projects - The official README connects dish to Prometheus Pushgateway, Telegram, Discord, Docker, and Go module tooling through its supported notification and install paths. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** dish - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Debian apt - dish - 1.19.1-1.1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: dish from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | diligence/distributed shell for parallel sysadmin | http://dish.mirendom.net - Ubuntu apt - dish - 1.19.1-1.1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: dish from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | diligence/distributed shell for parallel sysadmin | http://dish.mirendom.net ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Web development packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/web-dev-tools/) - Matched web development metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [easeprobe](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/easeprobe/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, http, monitoring, networking, tcp. - [httping](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/httping/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, http, monitoring, networking. - [httptap](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/httptap/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, http, monitoring, networking. - [cloudprober](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cloudprober/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, networking. - [darkstat](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/darkstat/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, networking. - [dnstop](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dnstop/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, networking. - [miruo](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/miruo/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, networking, tcp. - [mrtg](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mrtg/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, networking. - [netshow](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/netshow/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
