Ports

Usage

Docker Compose

Docker compose is the recommended way to run this image. Copy the content of folder examples/compose in /var/librenms/ on your host for example. Edit the compose and env files with your preferences and run the following commands:

$ docker-compose up -d
$ docker-compose logs -f

Command line

You can also use the following minimal command:

$ docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --name librenms \
  -v $(pwd)/data:/data \
  -e "DB_HOST=db" \
  librenms/librenms:latest

Warning

db must be a running MySQL instance.

First launch

When you first access the webui, you will be prompted to create an admin user.

Note

If you lose access, you can create another one using the lnms command.

Upgrade

To upgrade to the latest version of LibreNMS, pull the newer image and launch the container. LibreNMS will upgrade automatically:

$ docker-compose down
$ docker-compose pull
$ docker-compose up -d

Configuration Management

Initial Configuration

You can set the initial configuration of LibreNMS by placing *.yaml files inside /data/config folder. Let's say you want to edit the WebUI config. Create a file called for example /data/config/webui.yaml with this content :

page_refresh: 300
webui.default_dashboard_id: 0

This configuration will be seeded into the LibreNMS database when it is first deployed and will override the default values.

Live Configuration

You can edit the running configuration via the LibreNMS web UI or lnms config:set

docker-compose exec librenms lnms config:set page_refresh 300

Re-Apply YAML Config

Set REAPPLY_YAML_CONFIG=1 to overwrite any settings that are set during initial config or via user config back to their initial values every time the container is deployed.

Live Config

Using this config method, configuration changes will be reflected live on the containers, BUT you will be unable to edit the configured settings from within the LibreNMS web UI or lnms config:set.

The same example using PHP /data/config/webui.php

<?php
$config['page_refresh'] = "300";
$config['webui']['default_dashboard_id'] = 0;

Notes

LNMS command

If you want to use the lnms command to perform common server operations like manage users, database migration, and more, type:

$ docker-compose exec librenms lnms

Validate

If you want to validate your installation from the CLI, type the following command:

$ docker-compose exec --user librenms librenms php validate.php

Dispatcher service container

If you want to enable the new Dispatcher service, you have to run a "sidecar" container (see dispatcher service in docker-compose.yml example) or run a simple container like this:

$ docker run -d --name librenms_dispatcher \
  --env-file $(pwd)/librenms.env \
  -e SIDECAR_DISPATCHER=1 \
  -e DISPATCHER_NODE_ID=dispatcher1 \
  -v librenms:/data \
  librenms/librenms:latest

Warning

librenms must be a valid volume already attached to a LibreNMS container.

Syslog-ng container

If you want to enable syslog-ng, you have to run a "sidecar" container (see syslog-ng service in docker-compose.yml example) or run a simple container like this:

$ docker run -d --name librenms_syslog \
  --env-file $(pwd)/librenms.env \
  -e SIDECAR_SYSLOGNG=1 \
  -p 514 -p 514/udp \
  -v librenms:/data \
  librenms/librenms:latest

Warning

librenms must be a valid volume already attached to a LibreNMS container.

You have to create a configuration file to enable syslog in LibreNMS too. Create a file called for example /data/config/syslog.yaml with this content :

enable_syslog: true

Snmptrapd container

If you want to enable snmptrapd, you have to run a "sidecar" container (see snmptrapd service in docker-compose.yml example) or run a simple container like this:

$ docker run -d --name librenms_snmptrapd \
  --env-file $(pwd)/librenms.env \
  -e SIDECAR_SNMPTRAPD=1 \
  -p 162 -p 162/udp \
  -v librenms:/data \
  librenms/librenms:latest

Warning

librenms must be a valid volume already attached to a LibreNMS container.

Add a LibreNMS plugin

You can add plugins for LibreNMS in /data/plugins/. If you add a plugin that already exists in LibreNMS, it will be removed and yours will be used (except for Weathermap).

Warning

Container has to be restarted to propagate changes.

Additional Monitoring plugins

You can add a custom Monitoring plugin in /data/monitoring-plugins/.

Some plugins can be found in the Monitoring Plugins repo, or in the unofficial fork for Nagios.

Warning

Container has to be restarted to propagate changes.

Custom alert templates

You can add Laravel alert templates in /data/alert-templates/.

Warning

Container has to be restarted to propagate changes.
