i'm looking at getting an app called smokeping working. but need some help understanding the docker file and how to actually configure this app.

Hi

 

I have had a look at this. This is my clunky way of getting it working:

 

1) download the Dockerfile and 10-cgi.conf files to a directory on your unraid server

2) I edited my Dockerfile to use Phusion to save a docker base download

 

#FROM ubuntu:trusty
FROM phusion/baseimage:0.9.11

 

3) build the docker: (dont forget the trailing DOT!)

docker build --tag="smokeping” .

 

4) start the smokeping docker: (this has my settings, yours will differ)

docker run -d --name smokeping -p 8100:80 -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro smokeping

 

5) The webinterface is now here: http://192.168.1.22:8100/smokeping/smokeping.cgi

  (this is my setup, your ip/port may differ)

 

Advanced:

docker run -d --name smokeping -p 8100:80 -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -v /mnt/disk9/docker/appdata/smokeping:/etc/smokeping:ro smokeping

 

This allows you to store configs in /mnt/disk9/docker/appdata/smokeping

 

The readme on github shows how to get the running config into this directory

 

Hope that helps!

Thanks for looking into this for me. I also posted an issue on github which the docker author responded too.

 

Thanks to your response and his I've got an instance up and running.
