Environment Options

Item Required Description
DOCKER_HOST False Use a docker interface other than the default. (E.G DOCKER_HOST: tcp://docker-socket-proxy:2375)
  • This can be a UNIX socket (unix://), Windows named pipe (npipe://) or TCP connection (tcp://). If it's a pipe or socket, be sure to mount the connection as a volume. If the connection is proxied, ensure that GET requests are allowed on the /containers endpoint.
  • By default, this value is unset and the connection will use /var/run/docker.sock.
Item Required Description
SERVER_LABEL False Label to preface messages. Handy if you are running multiple versions of Monocker.
SERVER_AVATAR False Avatar image URL to add to messages. Handy if you are running Monocker on different machines (discord, ntfy mobile, and slack)
ONLY_OFFLINE_STATES False When true, only notify when a container state changes to paused, exited, running (unhealthy), or dead. Otherwise, all state changes are notified (false)
EXCLUDE_EXITED False Regardless of any other settings, you can ignore or include the status of 'exited'. (false includes exited)
PERIOD False Set the poll period in seconds. Default/Minimum is 10 seconds, recommended 30 seconds, to minimise messages sent.
DISABLE_STARTUP_MSG False Suppresses startup messages from being sent. Default is false
SHA False Will include the container SHA ID in sent messages
MESSAGE_PLATFORM True Specify 'ONE' messaging platform.
  • 'pushbullet@your_api_key@your_device_id'
  • 'pushover@your_user_key@your_app_api_token'
  • 'discord@webhook_url'
  • 'ntfy@topic_title'
  • 'slack@bot_user_oauth_token@your_chat_id'
  • 'gotify@server_url@app_token'
  • 'telegram@your_bot_id@your_chat_id'
  • 'apprise@apprise_url@config_id@tag' (Only one tag is supported, and server_avatar is not currently supported)
  • 'matrix@https://matrix.org@user:matrix.org@access-token@room-id:matrix.org' (For Matrix, add the userid 'without' the leading @ sign. Values are server, userid, access-token, room-id)

Advanced NTFY Setting

Use these settings if you host your own Ntfy server, or otherwise require authentication to connect.

Item Required Description
CUSTOM_NTFY_SERVER False The URL for your self-hosted Ntfy server (Else will use https://nttp.sh)
NTFY_USER False The username to login (on ntfy.sh or your own server. Optional if you have your own server open)
NTFY_PASS False The password to login (on ntfy.sh or your own server)
Item Required Description
LABEL_ENABLE False Includes or excludes specified containers, if labelled. (defaults to false)

This feature allows you to specify (with labels in your yaml) 'either' to monitor or exclude specific containers.

  • If it is set to false, then all containers will be monitored, except for any containers with the following label:
   labels:
     monocker.enable: 'false'
  • If it is set to true, only containers with the following label will be monitored
   labels:
     monocker.enable: 'true'
  • If you just want to monitor everything, then set LABEL_ENABLE: 'false' or just leave it out altogether, and dont worry about labelling any other containers.
