This tool helps you monitor your HDD or NVMe disk for changes in SMART values, indicating potential failures and notify you some when a failure values changed. It also sends a daily "I am alive" message to confirm that the tool is active.

1. You need only smartctl-notifier.py file. Or you can clone the repository:

   cd /root/
   git clone https://github.com/vgdh/smartctl-notifier

2. Run the app once to create the necessary file structure:

   cd /root/smartctl-notifier/ && python3 smartctl-notifier.py

3. Open the email configuration file and add your email credentials:

   nano /root/smartctl-notifier/.smartctl-notifier-storage/email_credential

   Add your credentials to the file:

   [email protected]
   youraccesstoken_or_password
   

4. Run the app again to ensure there are no errors in the console log:

   cd /root/smartctl-notifier/ && python3 smartctl-notifier.py

5. Set up a cron task to run the app hourly:

   0 * * * * cd /root/smartctl-notifier/ && python3 smartctl-notifier.py

   If you use proxmox redirect standart output to null, or you will be receiving too much email with standart output

   0 * * * * cd /root/smartctl-notifier/ && python3 smartctl-notifier.py > /dev/null
