Docker image for Nagios, the Industry Standard In IT Infrastructure Monitoring. Nagios Core is running on Alpine Linux, using Apache HTTP as a web server and sSMTP as mail agent for email notifications.
The image is inspired by JasonRivers/Docker-Nagios image (Kudos to Jason!) but follows a different approach targetted to lightweight size and basic features.
Build Status:
- Available architectures:
x86,amd64,arm/v6,arm/v7,arm64 - Where to file issues: https://github.com/manios/docker-nagios/issues
4.5.2,4.5,latest(4.5.2/Dockerfile)
For more information about the image versions you may refer to the CHANGELOG
Run with the example configuration with the following:
docker run --name nagios -p 0.0.0.0:8080:80 manios/nagios:latestalternatively you can use external Nagios configuration & log data with the following:
docker run --name nagios \
-v /path-to-nagios/etc/:/opt/nagios/etc/ \
-v /path-to-nagios/var:/opt/nagios/var/ \
-v /path-to-nagios/ssmtp.conf:/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf \
-v /path-to-custom-plugins:/opt/Custom-Nagios-Plugins \
-p 0.0.0.0:8080:80 \
manios/nagios:latestNotes:
- The container populates with default configuration files if the configuration directories are empty.
- The path for the custom plugins will be /opt/Custom-Nagios-Plugins, you will need to reference this directory in your configuration scripts.
- In order to receive mail notifications, you have to configure SSMTP. You can find example configuration inside the container in the file
/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.confor in the repository in overlay/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf.
For best results your Nagios container should have access to both IPv4 & IPv6 networks.
The default credentials for the web interface is nagiosadmin / nagios. However you can define your own credentials by overriding NAGIOSADMIN_USER and NAGIOSADMIN_PASS when you run the container. For example:
docker run --name nagios \
-e NAGIOSADMIN_USER="godmode" \
-e NAGIOSADMIN_PASS="super-Duper-Secret!" \
-p 0.0.0.0:8080:80 \
manios/nagios:latestBy default the Alpine container and Nagios both use UTC. In order to change the timezone we can pass the tz timezone database name as an environmental variable in docker run such as:
docker run -e "TZ=Europe/Athens" manios/nagios:latestThis will configure and use globally "Europe/Athens" in both container and Nagios process.
This Docker image is designed with optimising resources usage in mind and is build for multiple hardware architectures. The following matrix can be used to determine if your hardware architecture is represented in a docker image tag:
| Hardware | Image OS/Arch |
|---|---|
| PC (32bit) | linux/i386 |
| PC (64bit) | linux/amd64 |
| Raspberry Pi 1 | linux/arm/v6 |
| Raspberry Pi 2 | linux/arm/v7 |
| Raspberry Pi 3 | linux/arm/v7 or linux/arm64 |
| Raspberry Pi 4 | linux/arm/v7 or linux/arm64 |
| Apple Silicon M1 | linux/arm64 |
To check if your Nagios configuration is OK, you can run the following while your container is running. We assume that you use /opt/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg as your main configuration file.
docker exec -it mynagioscontainer bin/nagios -v etc/nagios.cfgIn docker tag build-5, build-6, build-7 we have used Alpine 3.14 as our base image. This comes with security updates which may cause trouble as described in Release Notes forAlpine 3.14.0 > faccessat2.
In order to resolve this issue you should use docker tag build-8 or you can follow the workarounds provided here: #32 (comment).
As already mentioned in #17, sometimes, because docker manifest related features are still experimental (after 2+ years of their introduction) it has happened when we tested in Raspberry Pi 1 (arm-v6) and Raspberry Pi 3 (arm-v7) that it does not download the arm image but the amd64.
Thus you can define explicitly which architecture to pull:
docker pull --platform=linux/arm/v6 manios/nagios
# or
docker pull --platform=linux/arm/v7 manios/nagiosand it works. Be advised that the --platform switch requires that you enable the Docker Experimental Features.
