Using docker compose yml to run netdata

Posted on Edited on Disqus:

Want to monitor your system and applications, Netdata is distributed, real-time performance and health monitoring for these. It is a highly-optimized monitoring agent you install on all your systems and containers.

I tried to use docker image to use netdata.

Install netdata docker image and run it

It simply straightforward, just run docker command:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
docker run -d --name=netdata \
  -p 19999:19999 \
  -v /etc/passwd:/host/etc/passwd:ro \
  -v /etc/group:/host/etc/group:ro \
  -v /proc:/host/proc:ro \
  -v /sys:/host/sys:ro \
  -v /etc/os-release:/host/etc/os-release:ro \
  --cap-add SYS_PTRACE \
  --security-opt apparmor=unconfined \
  netdata/netdata

then go to your browser, http://yourip:19999, you can see netdata works.

use docker compose yml file to run netdata service

write a shell script to create a docker yml file under /srv

#!/bin/bash

#create netdata.yml
mkdir -p /srv/netdata/
{
  echo "version: '3'"
  echo "services:"
  echo "  netdata:"
  echo "    image: netdata/netdata"
  echo "    ports:"
  echo "      - 19999:19999"
  echo "    cap_add:"
  echo "      - SYS_PTRACE"
  echo "    security_opt:"
  echo "      - apparmor:unconfined"
  echo "    volumes:"
  echo "      - /etc/passwd:/host/etc/passwd:ro"
  echo "      - /etc/os-release:/host/etc/os-release:ro"
  echo "      - /etc/group:/host/etc/group:ro"
  echo "      - /proc:/host/proc:ro"
  echo "      - /sys:/host/sys:ro"
} > /srv/netdata/netdata.yml

run it, then go to /srv/netdata to check if it exists

at the same dir to create an autorun file, named netdata_auto

1
2
3
4
5
netdata_autorun=true

if [ "$netdata_autorun" = true ]; then
  docker-compose -f /srv/netdata/netdata.yml -p netdata up -d
fi

let me test

run shell script first

1
root@rpi-121:/home/pi/git_repo/cli/templates/services/netdata# ./netdata_yml.sh

go to /srv to verify it created the docker compose yml file

services:
  netdata:
    image: netdata/netdata
    ports:
      - 19999:19999
    cap_add:
      - SYS_PTRACE
    security_opt:
      - apparmor:unconfined
    volumes:
      - /etc/passwd:/host/etc/passwd:ro
      - /etc/os-release:/host/etc/os-release:ro
      - /etc/group:/host/etc/group:ro
      - /proc:/host/proc:ro
      - /sys:/host/sys:ro

then run docker-compose
