A comprehensive management suite for Prometheus Blackbox Exporter targets, probers, and metrics with persistent SQLite storage.

• Centralized Management: Manage targets, probers, and groups in one place.
• Persistent Storage: All configuration is saved to a local SQLite database (.db file).
• Dockerized: Easy deployment with persistent volumes.
• Visual Dashboard: Statistics and event logging.

• Node.js (v18+) for local development.
• Docker for containerized deployment.

To run PBXR with persistent data storage, use a Docker volume mount mapping to /app/data.

docker build -t pbxr .

Run the container, mounting a local folder to persist the database file.

Linux / Mac:

docker run -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -v $(pwd)/data:/usr/src/app/data \
  --name pbxr \
  pbxr

Windows (PowerShell):

docker run -d `
  -p 3000:3000 `
  -v ${PWD}/data:/usr/src/app/data `
  --name pbxr `
  pbxr

The application will be available at http://localhost:3000. All data will be stored in your local ./data/pbxr.db file.

npm install

npm run build

npm start

The server will start on port 3000. Data will be stored in data/pbxr.db within the project folder.

To run the frontend with hot-reload and proxy to backend:

1. Start backend: node server.js
2. In another terminal, start frontend: npm run dev

The application uses SQLite for storage.

• Location: data/pbxr.db inside the container (mapped to host).
• Format: JSON blob stored in kv_store table.
• Backup: Simply copy the .db file to back up your entire configuration.
