Installation

Create the config folder, if not yet present:

mkdir -p ~/.config/conky/

Make sure Conky is configured to look for that folder. I recommend using Conky-Manager2

Clone the repository to that folder:

cd ~/.config/conky/
git clone https://gitlab.com/VII86/infotastic-conky.git

Using Conky-Manager you should now see the configuration files.

Please make sure the used fonts in all files are installed on your system:

• FantasqueSansMono
• Material
• Inter
• Bebas Neue
• feather
• Another

Infotastic.conf

Clock and date

Infotastic2.conf

RAM and CPU usage, weather, currently playing and calendar To use it, please edit /scripts/weather-v2.0.sh. You'll need your city ID on Openweathermap and create an API Key (please do not use mine :))

Changing the displayed weekdays abbrevations

Edit the line

${offset 0}${voffset 0}${color0}${font FantasqueSansMono Nerd Font:size=10}MO DI MI DO FR SA SO

to fit your needs. Please be advised that the abbrevations need to be only 2 letters/spaced.

playerctl.sh

You'll need playerctl for this to work. Please look up how to install for your arch.

Infotastic3.conf

Uptime, Filesystems, Network, Temperature reading, Updates It shows on my second monitor, the variable you need to adjust here is

xinerama_head = 1,

To make the Network graph work, you'll need to look for your interface id:

ifconfig

And change it here in these lines:

${color1}Network:${color} ${voffset -1}${font Another:size=15}${color grey}${addrs <device-id>} / ${execpi 300 ~/.config/conky/Infotastic/scripts/get_ip.sh}${color}${font}
${voffset 5}${template1}${font Another:size=15}${downspeedf <device-id>} kB/s ${goto 145}${template0} ${upspeedf <device-id>} kB/s${font}
${downspeedgraph <device-id> 60,120 7fff00 ff0000 -t} ${upspeedgraph <device-id> 60,120 7fff00 ff0000 -t}

The filesystems are configured here - adjust to your needs:

${voffset 4}${color1}File systems:${color}
  ${color grey}/        ${color darkgrey}${fs_used /} / ${fs_size /}
${fs_bar /}
...

To make the GPU Temperature work, you need a nvidia driver installed. The updates are displayed via a script which utilizes apt. Please adjust 'apt-updates.py' to your package manager.

Infotastic4_rss.conf

Ability to show contents of a RSS feed.

${execpi 3600 ~/.config/conky/Infotastic/scripts/rss-feed.sh '<url-to-feed.xml>' 154 60}

Infotastic5_pihole.conf

If you have a local PiHole installed, this shows the current state and some data.

${execpi 30 ~/.config/conky/Infotastic/scripts/pihole.py 'http://<your-host>/admin' '<your-API-token>'}

Infotastic6_cpus.conf

Indicator for CPU Cores. Please edit the lua script "cpu_rings.lua" to adapt to your CPU Cores

Infotastic7_ncidiaSMI.conf
