vergoh / vnstat-docker Goto Github PK

Sorry if this is not the correct place to post.
And thanks for this great tool.
I wonder if it would be possible to have the http-server serve a /metrics-endpoint.
This way metrics could be scraped by prometheus.

Currently, timezone and localtime files must be mounted to set the correct time zone.

Adding the tzdata package to the Alpine Linux base image will let the time zone be set through the env var TZ.

I would like to change the unit from GiB to GB. Please tell me how.

I have many docker containers and they have their respective bridge network. These appear as "br-xxxxxxx" in ifconfig o/p.
The network ID get changed when a container is restarted. (i.e. "br-xxxxxxx" becomes "br-yyyyyyy").
Even if I set the same alias to "br-yyyyyyy" the usage associated with the "br-xxxxxxx" is no longer available in vnStat.

Any workaround to keep track of the usage of a container across restarts??

Thank you...

Not sure where my issue is, any ideas?

Appreciate you work on this project. Wondering if it is possible to add the container name in front of the interface name and then sort them alphabetically. I have multiple servers each with 50+ containers. Saves the step of looking up the container interface name to find it in the UI.

Hi!

I see it's possible to ignore interfaces based on name with

docker exec vnstat vnstat -i br-20f8582bfc70 --remove --force

It would be cool if we could ignore based on a pattern.

docker exec vnstat vnstat -i veth* --remove --force

My usecase is that I'm using this on a system with podman and would like to ignore interfaces matching veth* (ignoring all container created interfaces) as these names are not static and are dynamically created.

Given the recent dockerhub announcement of removing free team orgs, I'm wondering if the current org will be affected? And if so perhaps this could have a high priority? There are other options to use like GHCR or Quay.

docker/hub-feedback#2314

Can you add the options -i/-iface for the selected interface ?

Thanks for the work on this repo.
How can I access the vnstat.conf file normally stored under /etc/vnstat.conf?
Thanks in advance.

I'm running a traefik reverse proxy for all my webservices. All my applications are properly dockered and do not have access to the hosts network stack (including traefik). Now obviously vnstat needs to to run on the host network to collect it's data, but the lighthttp doesn't. This makes it impossible for traefik to properly route incoming requests to lighthttp, since it can't access services bound to 127.0.0.1 on the host network. I could of course listen to multiple IP addresses but I don't have any that is only reachable by traefik, so I would have to bind lighthttp to a public interface or deploy firewall rules.

Since vnstati doesn't appear to need access to the vnstatd process, I would suggest moving lighthttp into it's own container and have them share the same volume. It would also allow to only run vnstatd or vnstati and not have to have have the database on the same host.

I have observed that thttpd has a memory footprint of up to 148MiB. What are the advantages of this program?

I have multiple servers. When I want to concentrate all the network cards that need attention in a domain name, the current directory structure makes me wonder how to use Nginx for reverse proxy. There may be a way to do a reverse proxy, but that should be more troublesome.
