Container-Mon

Get notified when your Docker containers are unhealthy.

Prerequisites

  • Have Go 1.18+ or Docker installed
  • A notification service supported by Shoutrrr and the required API keys or other configuration for your chosen service (e.g: Telegram, Discord, Slack, Teams etc)

Configuration

All configuration is done via environment variables, see the table below for all options and default values. Only CONTAINERMON_NOTIFICATION_URL is mandatory, all other fields are optional.

Name Type Default Value Description
CONTAINERMON_FAIL_LIMIT Int 1 Number of consecutive 'unhealthy' checks to reach before sending a notification
CONTAINERMON_CRON String */5 * * * * Standard Cron schedule of when to run healthchecks
CONTAINERMON_NOTIFICATION_URL String N/A Notification URL for Shoutrrr. Multiple services can be used with the | (pipe) character as a separator.
CONTAINERMON_USE_LABELS Bool false If true will only monitor containers with the label containermon.enable=true set
CONTAINERMON_NOTIFY_HEALTHY Bool true If true will send a notification when an 'unhealthy' container returns to being 'healthy'
CONTAINERMON_CHECK_STOPPED Bool true If true will consider stopped containers as 'unhealthy'. If false, you will only be notified for containers that have a healthcheck set
CONTAINERMON_MESSAGE_PREFIX String N/A Custom text to be prefixed to all notification messages.
DOCKER_HOST String /var/run/docker.sock Path for the Docker API socket
DOCKER_API_VERSION String docker default Docker API version to use
DOCKER_CERT_PATH String docker default Path to load the TLS certificates from
DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY Bool false Enable or disable TLS verification

Usage

  • Stand-alone: go run app.go
  • Docker:
      docker run \
      -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
      -e CONTAINERMON_NOTIFICATION_URL=telegram://token@telegram?channels=channel-1 \
      ghcr.io/rafhaanshah/container-mon:latest
    
  • Docker-Compose:
    version: "3.8"
      services:
        container-mon:
          container_name: container-mon
          image: ghcr.io/rafhaanshah/container-mon:latest
          restart: unless-stopped
          volumes:
            - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
          environment:
            - CONTAINERMON_NOTIFICATION_URL=telegram://token@telegram?channels=channel-1
    

Security Considerations

  • It can be considered a security risk to directly map your Docket socket inside a container. A proxy such as Socket-Proxy can be used to give fine-grained access to parts of the Docker API, this application only needs to be able to read a list of running containers ->
      docker run \
      -e DOCKER_HOST=tcp://socket-proxy:2375
      ...
    
  • This container runs as root by default to access the Docker socket. You may run it as another user that has access to the socket as described here: Running a Docker container as a non-root user ->
      docker run \
      -u $(id -u):$(stat -c '%g' "/var/run/docker.sock") \
      ...
