Tricorder - System Diagnostic Tool

curl -sSL https://git.karner.dev/jdkarner/tricorder/raw/branch/main/scripts/release.sh | bash

A portable Rust GUI application for Linux system diagnostics.

Features

• System Information: OS, CPU, Memory (with SKU/part numbers), GPU
• WiFi Detection: Triple-redundant detection (iw, lspci, sysfs)
• Storage Devices: All drives with partitions
• Audio Testing: Microphone test with live feedback
• JSON Export: Copy system info to clipboard
• Portable: Single 5.8MB binary

Quick Start

Download and Run

# Download
curl -sSL https://your-server.com/tricorder -o tricorder
chmod +x tricorder

# Run
./tricorder

# With sudo for full memory details
sudo ./tricorder

Build from Source

cargo build --release
./target/release/tricorder

Requirements

• Linux with GUI (X11/Wayland)
• Optional: dmidecode, lspci, iw, alsa-utils (graceful degradation)

Usage

1. Launch application
2. Wait for automatic scan (5-10 seconds)
3. Review information in organized panels
4. Test microphones with 🎤 button
5. Click "Copy JSON" to export data
6. Use "Refresh" to rescan

Theme Customization

Tricorder supports custom themes via a config.toml file. Place it in one of these locations:

• ./config.toml (same directory as tricorder)
• ./tricorder.toml (same directory as tricorder)
• ~/.config/tricorder/config.toml (user config directory)

Configuration Options

[theme]
# Colors (hex format: #RRGGBB or #RRGGBBAA)
primary_color = "#4A90E2"
background_color = "#1E1E1E"
panel_color = "#2D2D2D"
text_color = "#E0E0E0"
heading_color = "#FFFFFF"
success_color = "#4CAF50"
warning_color = "#FFC107"
error_color = "#F44336"
info_color = "#2196F3"
button_color = "#3A7BC8"
button_hover_color = "#5AA3E8"
border_color = "#404040"
selection_color = "#4A90E2"

[font_sizes]
heading = 24.0
subheading = 18.0
body = 14.0
small = 12.0
monospace = 13.0

[spacing]
section_spacing = 10.0
item_spacing = 5.0
group_padding = 8.0
button_padding = 6.0

[window]
default_width = 1200.0
default_height = 800.0
min_width = 800.0
min_height = 600.0

Example: Light Theme

[theme]
primary_color = "#0066CC"
background_color = "#FFFFFF"
panel_color = "#F5F5F5"
text_color = "#333333"
heading_color = "#000000"
button_color = "#0066CC"
button_hover_color = "#0088FF"

Example: Larger Text

[font_sizes]
heading = 28.0
subheading = 22.0
body = 16.0

Layout

┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ OS Info        │ CPU Info               │
├────────────────┼────────────────────────┤
│ Memory Modules │ GPU                    │
│ (with SKUs)    │ WiFi Status            │
│                │ Storage Devices        │
├────────────────┴────────────────────────┤
│ Audio Devices (with test buttons)       │
└──────────────────────────────────────────┘

Fixed Issues

• ✅ Memory SKU detection now 100% reliable
• ✅ WiFi detection uses 3 methods (no false negatives)
• ✅ All physical drives detected (filters out zram/loop)
• ✅ Audio device testing integrated

Development

# Test detection
./test-detection.sh

# Build release
cargo build --release

# Deploy
./deploy.sh

Legacy Scripts
