DumbMonitInstall
Install DumbMonit
One container, three steps. Add the agent to your servers afterwards.
-
Download the Compose file
Make a folder and fetch the file. It already drops every capability and mounts the file system read-only.
$ mkdir dumbmonit && cd dumbmonit $ curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laupernoe/dumbmonit/main/docker-compose.yml -
Start it
Docker pulls the image and starts DumbMonit together with its time-series database.
$ docker compose up -d -
Create the first account
Open the page and create the administrator. Then add a monitor: the form says what to prepare on it.
Then open
http://localhost:8080and create the first account. Image for amd64 and arm64:ghcr.io/laupernoe/dumbmonit.
What you need
- Docker Engine with the Compose plugin.
- An amd64 or arm64 machine (arm64 images come with the stable releases).
- Port 8080 free, or another port of your choice.
- Network access to the devices you monitor. Devices never need to reach the server; agents do, on TCP 8443.
Then add the agent to your servers
A small binary that pushes CPU, memory, disks, network, services and uptime to the server, plus temperatures, fans, SMART and ZFS pools where the machine exposes them. It calls the server, never the other way round: no port to open on the machine.
# the UI fills in the token for you
curl -sSL http://server:8080/install.sh | sh -s -- \
--token=dmon_xxx --url=http://server:8080A PowerShell script is served at /install.ps1 for Windows. The agent is also an image, ghcr.io/laupernoe/dumbmonit-agent.
