The thing is that if you leave the config with a bridged network ntopng will only see the containers in the network. Initially, I started the containers with a bridged external network, as I’m used to the microservice world where this is widely accepted. Here’s the file: version: '3'Ĭommand: ntopng -r localhost:6379 -d /ntopngcustom I’ll be wrapping up both containers in a single docker-compose yaml for easier management. If you have a better idea – modify the hell out of this.Ĭool, let’s add both containers to a network Docker-compose Yes, yes, I know 777 is a horrible thing to have to use, but I never made any promises that this will/is the best way to do this.

The second block here instantiates a folder for ntopng to use for its wildest storage dreams, and we give it full access. The last line here is the inclusion of the service to systemd so that it can start if the container is restarted.
#Ntopng upgrade raspbian pi install#
The next line teaches apt-get what ntopng is.Īnd we finally get to install the tool with apt-get install -y ntopng Super useful scripts, and most importantly – these are ntopng’s dependencies. A couple of things that are included in there are python3 and ca-certificates. Think of this package as a dependency installer for commonly used tools and infra. I won’t cover wget and curl, but the software-properties-common is interesting. We then request the installation of software-properties-common wget curl.

b \įrom the top-down – first, we update and upgrade the base image, to ensure that we’re working with the latest and greatest. & echo "8 48" | apt-get install -y software-properties-common wget curl \ RUN apt-get update & apt-get -y upgrade \ Great news, this worked perfectly, let’s get to the docker config. As we can see here, the tool supports the latest stable versions on Ubuntu: ntopng Ubuntu version support I grabbed 20.04 (focal) from the docker repo and got to work. My overall experience with Debian – 3/10, would not recommend. I kept installing and uninstalling, switching between alpine and stable, going to v 10, v 9 etc.įour hours in I just gave up and switched over to Ubuntu, the size difference in the base image was about +3MB compressed, so whatever – I bit the bullet. The thing is that I couldn’t quite figure out which one I was missing. Ntopng requires a base set of dependencies, cool, just a standard thing. I set up a container with version 11 and tried to follow the guide above. Ntop has support for that, per this link ntopng Debian version supportĪnd that’s where the great things end. I went over to the land of docker images and grabbed Debian 11. These are my preferred distros, and the ones I have the most experience with. Let’s look at what they support for 圆4: ntop OS and architecture supportĬool, there’s both Debian and Ubuntu. For a better explanation click here OS/arch We invoke the save command, to ensure that we store the data. The only other notable thing here is the command declaration. The container is restarted 5 times if it fails and is then left alone. The above thing declares a new container, grabs redis:alpine from the land of docker images, and maps the /data directory to a local one. Note – I’ll talk about the network_mode: host param in a bit. Here’s the docker-compose declaration for it: version: '3' Honestly, this was the easiest part of this whole adventure. Ntop requires a working Redis container in the network. My assumption is that I might’ve overlooked a dependency somewhere, so I made the “only other choice” – build it from scratch Pre-requisites Redis The thing is that the above images didn’t run properly on my Raspberry Pi. Ready-made imagesĪs a dev, the first thing I thought of was: “There must be an image out there already”.
If you don’t dare to spend 8 hours on getting a docker container up, use the links above. Yes, there’re official binaries on Ntop’s website, and yes there’s one for getting this up and running on a Raspberry. Furthermore, I wanted a challenge, I wanted something that I really had to spend some time with to get working. Seriously though, it’s way faster and easier to clean up a docker setup if I wanted to move to a different tool in the future. That choice was made for a number of reasons, one of which is that I’m apparently a masochist. I wanted to Dockerise the install instead of having to install the tool “bare metal”. For more info on the tool, visit their homepage here The strategy It’s built on top of “ntop”, the original network probe. Ntopng is a full on network monitoring tool, that’s open-source and easy to use. I’ll be super brief here, I assume you’re familiar with the tool if you’re reading this. Dockerise the installation and get it up and running on the Pi. I already have a Raspberry Pi running, so the choice was obvious. So I’ve been wanting to include a network monitoring suite in my home network for a while now.
