Anyone looking for a way to control your fans? Try Coolercontrol!

Some nights ago my insomnia didn’t let me sleep and while browsing reddit i found this cool little tool called coolercontrol which shows a bunch of metrics from cpu frequency, cpu power draw, hdd nvme and ssd temps and yes fan speeds. It also lets you create custom fan curves and profiles.
It’s pretty lightweight and has a nice gui.
Here’s the yaml to deploy it:

services:
  coolercontrold:
    image: coolercontrol/coolercontrold:latest
    ports:
      - '11987:11987'
    privileged: True
    volumes:
      - /mnt/Plugins/docker/data/coolercontrol:/etc/coolercontrol #replace /mnt/Plugins/docker/data with the path you want to use
version: '3.9'
x-portals:
  - host: 0.0.0.0 # replace with your nas' ip
    name: Web UI
    path: /
    port: 11987
    scheme: http

Thanks for the info! This looks really nice.

How do you get lm_sensors installed? I see no way to actually control the fans themselves with “stock “ config.

I did not install lm_sensors. All I had to do was side-load an additional kernel module specific for my Mainboard
