Docker Events

A simple Bash script that posts Docker Events to Telegram. It is minimal implementation and it is using a few MB of RAM and low CPU usage.

It is built for all architectures supported by alpine docker image.

By default it is sending container start/stop/unhealthy status for non zero exit codes and ignoring containers that started with the restart policy value no.

You can define HOST_NAME for each instance, or mount /etc/hostname as read only. That will be used in notification message title.

Also you can set up filters using environment variables to get notifications you need. Use bash patterns wiki.bash-hackers.org/syntax/pattern

Environment variables

TELEGRAM_API_TOKEN - Telegram bot API key
TELEGRAM_GROUP_ID - Telegram group id

FILTER_NAME - filter container name (default: +(*))
FILTER_IMAGE - filter image name (default: +(*))
FILTER_HEALTH - filter health status (default: !(healthy))
FILTER_EXITCODE - filter exit code (default: !(0|130))
FILTER_RESTART_POLICY - filter restart policy (default: !(no))

HOST_NAME - define a host name for notifications, by default it reads the /etc/hostname file

Example commands

docker run -d --name='DockerEvents' -e 'TELEGRAM_API_TOKEN'='..' -e 'TELEGRAM_GROUP_ID'='..' -v '/var/run/docker.sock':'/var/run/docker.sock':'ro' -v '/etc/hostname':'/etc/hostname':'ro' --cpus="0.1" -m 50M --restart always 'julyighor/dockerevents:latest'
