### Build-in docker image

- build docker image `docker build -t monit .`

- start monit: `docker run --rm -it -p 2812:2812 -v $(pwd)/monitrc:/etc/monitrc monit`

### Docker Hub image

- pull docker image from docker hub: `docker pull kijart/monit:latest`

- start monit: `docker run --rm -it -p 2812:2812 -v $(pwd)/monitrc:/etc/monitrc kijart/monit:latest`

- create a docker container:

```bash
docker create \
  --name=monit \
  -p 2812:2812 \
  -v $(pwd)/monitrc:/etc/monitrc \
  kijart/monit:latest
```

### Docker compose

- create a container using docker-compose: `docker-compose up --no-start`

- start monit: `docker-compose up`

### Troubleshooting

If when starting Monit returns the following message: `The control file '/etc/monitrc' permission 0755 is wrong, maximum 0700 allowed`, simply give the appropriate permissions to _monitrc_: `chmod 700 monitrc`.
