A Modern Looking Glass Panel for Multi-Line Monitoring
Recently, we needed to perform four-line monitoring tests for a client. After searching extensively online, we discovered that most existing Looking Glass panels were outdated PHP-based solutions—either with limited functionality, obsolete UI, or long-abandoned projects. None could meet our needs.
So, we decided to build our own.
Together with a few friends, we developed NetMirror, a brand-new Looking Glass project aimed at providing a more modern, user-friendly solution for data centers, oneman operations, and networking enthusiasts.
Special thanks to wikihost-opensource and Hybula for the inspiration and architecture ideas their projects provided.
🚀 What is NetMirror?
NetMirror is a feature-rich, visually appealing, and modern Looking Glass server-side panel designed for displaying and testing multi-region network nodes. It supports essential networking tools such as ping, traceroute, mtr, speedtest, and more. All nodes are displayed in a unified interface to help users evaluate latency, stability, and performance across different routes.

📦 Deployment (Docker)
Clone the Repository
git clone https://github.com/Yuri-NagaSaki/NetMirror.git cd NetMirror
创建环境文件
复制环境文件示例以创建您自己的配置。
cp .env.example .env
If .env.example does not exist, simply create a .env file and refer to the documentation or table of variables.
Customize Config (Optional)
Edit .env to set your server region, public IP, and other configurations.
Here’s a sample docker-compose.yml snippet:
services:
als:
image: soyorins/netmirror:latest
container_name: looking-glass-e
restart: always
network_mode: host
user: root
env_file:
- .env
volumes:
- ./data:/data
- ./.air.toml:/app/.air.toml
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD", "wget", "--quiet", "--tries=1", "--spider", "http://localhost:${HTTP_PORT:-80}/"]
interval: 30s
timeout: 10s
retries: 3
logging:
driver: "json-file"
options:
max-size: "10m"
max-file: "3"
docker compose up -d
Once running, access your instance at:
http://:3000
(default port can be modified using the HTTP_PORT environment variable)
Comments
Under traffic monitor, past tense of send should be sent, not "sended".
Otherwise it looks really good.
Stuck in Connecting...
Establishing connection to the server

Your modern looking "Glass Panel" is reminding me of Windows Vista... and NO ONE wants to remember Windows Vista!
It’s OK if you disagree with me. I can’t force you to be right!
IPv4: 32 bits of stress. IPv6: 128 bits of... well, more stress... Have anyone seen my subnet?
I want to remember Windows Vista

Not sure what somik is about... it looks decent to me.
It´s only working on the IP instead the URL in the demo.
