Smokeping on Docker using Trafik for TLS and Let's Encrypt

This repository contains the necessary tools to run a Smokeping on Docker using Docker Compose and Traefik.

Quick start

In order to quickly run Smokeping on a machine running Docker and Docker Compose, follow these steps:

• Clone this repository to your computer.
  • git clone https://github.com/prunux/smokeping-traefik-docker-compose && cd smokeping-traefik-docker-compose
• Create a .env file by copying and adjusting env.example
  • cp env.example .env
• Create required CONFIG directories
  • mkdir -p ~/.smokeping-cfg
  • mkdir -p ~/.traefik-cfg
• Run docker-compose up -d.
• Access the web UI at http://myhost.mydomain:44080 (or a different port, in case you set another port in the env or compose file).
• Access the web UI at https://myhost.mydomain:44443 (or a different port, in case you set another port in the env or compose file).

Configuration

The configuration is performed via environment variables contained in a .env file. You can copy the provided env.example file as a reference.

IMPORTANT: At the moment, the configuration is not regenerated on every container boot, so if you make any unwished changes to your .env file, make sure you remove the configuration directory before starting your containers again (CONFIG_TRAEFIK,CONFIG_SMOKEPING )
