## What is Rasptele?

Rasptele is a tool that allows you to monitor and manage a Docker server running on Raspberry Pi via Telegram. It provides secure access to server health, Docker containers, and Pi-hole statistics.

## How Does It Work?

Rasptele runs as three Docker containers and isolates the Docker socket. It reports CPU, memory, disk usage, and can restart specific Docker containers based on Telegram commands.

## Pi-hole Integration

Rasptele enables you to view Pi-hole v6 statistics and temporarily disable blocking. This feature offers great convenience for Pi-hole users.

## Security Measures

Rasptele enhances security by isolating the Docker socket and granting access only to a specific Telegram user. Server file system mounts are set to read-only.

## Quick Start

To use Rasptele, you need to create a Telegram bot and ensure your Raspberry Pi has access to Telegram. You can quickly set it up using Docker Compose and start managing your server.

## Why Rasptele?

Rasptele provides a secure and convenient solution for users who want to remotely manage Raspberry Pi Docker servers. It simplifies server management by offering easy access via Telegram.
