Thanks for that! I’m a bit surprised it’s so tricky. I was thinking I could expose an endpoint (/admin/os\_info) that gathers OS info using basic sys commands & then use Ember to create an admin route & get that info into a simple template. Even better, maybe that someone had already done sthg similar that I could adapt for a simple solution.

But thanks anyway for your pointer. I was hoping to help others that might stall like I did with a largely hands-off installation only to find it seizes up after a few years. I guess I’ll just login more often 😄
