A Telegram integration to notify Docker events from multiple docker hosts and one telegram bot. This service notifies about container start, stop, restart events, changes of Docker healthcheck status, and to which host and ip-address it connects, on which architecture and version the docker engine runs. If you wish you can add more event notifications in templates.js file see the section on templates.
Set up a telegram bot and get the Bot Token. then add the bot to a group and make it admin and extract the Chat ID.
Run a container as follows:
# local
docker run -d --env TELEGRAM_NOTIFIER_BOT_TOKEN=token --env TELEGRAM_NOTIFIER_CHAT_ID=chat_id --env DOCKER_HOSTNAME=raspberry --env DOCKER_IP_ADDRESS=192.168.0.2 --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro soulassassin85/docker-telegram-notifier
# remote
docker run -d --env TELEGRAM_NOTIFIER_BOT_TOKEN=token --env TELEGRAM_NOTIFIER_CHAT_ID=chat_id --env DOCKER_HOSTNAME=raspberry --env DOCKER_IP_ADDRESS=192.168.0.2 --env DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.0.19:2375 soulassassin85/docker-telegram-notifier
# Docker Compose
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/soulassassin85/docker-telegram-notifier/master/docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up -dYou can receive a docker events notification from multiple docker-telegram-notifier instances to your 1 telegram bot.
Added two variables DOCKER_HOSTNAME and DOCKER_IP_ADDRESS to specify the HOST and its IP-ADDRESS subsequently these variables are passed to the telegram message template, as well as to the connection string to the remote or local docker instance.
The architecture tag was added to the connection string on which the docker engine runs: like amd64, arm and etc.
It looks like this:
The master branch aka latest tag
The develop branche aka dev tag
You can suppress notifications from certain containers by adding a label --label telegram-notifier.monitor=false to them. If you want to receive notifications only from whitelisted containers, set --env ONLY_WHITELIST=true environment variable on the notifier instance, and --label telegram-notifier.monitor=true label on the containers you want to monitor.
By default notifier connects to a local docker instance (don't forget to specify --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro for this case). But if you have monitoring and the service on the same host, you will not receive notifications if the host goes down. So I recommend to have monitoring separately.
Notifier accepts usual DOCKER_HOST and DOCKER_CERT_PATH environment variables to specify remote instance. For http endpoint you need to specify only --env DOCKER_HOST=tcp://example.com:2375 (make sure to keep such instances behind the firewall). For https, you'll also need to mount a volume with https certificates that contains ca.pem, cert.pem, and key.pem: --env DOCKER_HOST=tcp://example.com:2376 --env DOCKER_CERT_PATH=/certs --volume $(pwd):/certs
Tutorial on how to generate docker certs can be found here
Also with the help of additional variables you can distinguish your hosts:
DOCKER_HOSTNAME=MyServer
DOCKER_IP_ADDRESS=192.168.0.20
These variables are arbitrary and serve to add additional clarifying information that you will see in messages from telegram bot.
This image only supports work in the amd64 environment.
The message templates are located in templates.js file and you can customize them if you want.
The default template now looks like this:
for start of container
<b>Host:</b> ${utils.getEnvVar("DOCKER_HOSTNAME")}
<b>IP:</b> ${utils.getEnvVar("DOCKER_IP_ADDRESS")}
<b>Container:</b> ${e.Actor.Attributes.name}\n
<b>Image:</b> ${e.Actor.Attributes.image}\n
<b>Has been started</b>
---
Host: adguard-pve
IP: 192.168.0.19
Container: adguard
Image: adguard/adguardhome:edge
Has been started
for stop of container
<b>Host:</b> ${utils.getEnvVar("DOCKER_HOSTNAME")}
<b>IP:</b> ${utils.getEnvVar("DOCKER_IP_ADDRESS")}
<b>Container:</b> ${e.Actor.Attributes.name}
<b>Image:</b> ${e.Actor.Attributes.image}
<b>Has been stopped</b>\n<b>Exit Code:</b>
${e.Actor.Attributes.exitCode}
---
Host: adguard-pve
IP: 192.168.0.19
Container: adguard
Image: adguard/adguardhome:edge
Has been stopped
Exit Code: 0
As I find free time, I plan to finalize the templates, including notifications about healthy and unhealthy status. You can suggest your own version.
Here is example of stack:
version: 2
services:
# local docker instance
telegram-notifier-local:
image: soulassassin85/docker-telegram-notifier
container_name: telegram-notifier-local
hostname: telegram-notifier-local
environment:
- TZ=Europe/Kiev
- DOCKER_HOSTNAME=portainer-pve
- DOCKER_IP_ADDRESS=192.168.0.30
- TELEGRAM_NOTIFIER_BOT_TOKEN=YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE
- TELEGRAM_NOTIFIER_CHAT_ID=YOUR_CHAT_ID_HERE
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
restart: unless-stopped
# remote docker instance #1
telegram-notifier-adguard:
image: soulassassin85/docker-telegram-notifier
container_name: telegram-notifier-adguard
hostname: telegram-notifier-adguard
environment:
- TZ=Europe/Kiev
- DOCKER_HOSTNAME=adguard-pve

- TELEGRAM_NOTIFIER_CHAT_ID=YOUR_CHAT_ID_HERE
restart: unless-stopped
# remote docker instance #2
telegram-notifier-rpi-zb-gw-stage:
image: soulassassin85/docker-telegram-notifier
container_name: telegram-notifier-rpi-zb-gw-stage
hostname: telegram-notifier-rpi-zb-gw-stage
environment:
- TZ=Europe/Kiev
- DOCKER_HOSTNAME=rpi-zb-gw-stage
- DOCKER_IP_ADDRESS=192.168.0.27
- DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.0.27:2375
- TELEGRAM_NOTIFIER_BOT_TOKEN=YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE
- TELEGRAM_NOTIFIER_CHAT_ID=YOUR_CHAT_ID_HERE
restart: unless-stopped
For docker-compose examples see comments in docker-compose.yml file also.
When working with the code it is convenient and faster to build and run containers locally instead of having to build and deploy it to some hosting. To do this run following steps:
- In the project root directory build image:
docker build . --tag=docker-test - Run it:
docker run -d --env TELEGRAM_NOTIFIER_BOT_TOKEN=XXXXX --env TELEGRAM_NOTIFIER_CHAT_ID=YYYYYY --env DOCKER_HOSTNAME=some-hostname --env DOCKER_IP_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1 --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro docker-test - Run any other docker container, for example:
docker run hello-world
arefaslani for original idea.
poma for reworking the original version and move it to alpine image.
DB Tech for making a video review of this notifier, thanks buddy.
monkeber for help and implementation of idea with variables according to my thoughts, thanks homie.
