# Monit - UNIX Systems Management
Run Monit inside docker.
[![Monit](https://mmonit.com/monit/img/logo.png)](https://mmonit.com/monit/)
[Monit](https://mmonit.com/monit/) is a free open source utility for managing and monitoring, processes, programs, files, directories and filesystems on a UNIX system. Monit conducts automatic maintenance and repair and can execute meaningful causal actions in error situations.
Default username/password: admin/monit
## Docker setup
Install docker: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/
Install docker compose: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/
Docker documentation: https://docs.docker.com/
### Build-in docker image
- build docker image `docker build -t monit .`
- start monit: `docker run -ti -p 2812:2812 -v $(pwd)/monitrc:/etc/monitrc monit`
### Docker Hub image
- pull docker image from docker hub: `docker pull kijart/monit`
- start monit: `docker run -ti -p 2812:2812 -v $(pwd)/monitrc:/etc/monitrc kijart/monit`
- create a docker container:
```bash
docker create \
--name=monit \
-p 2812:2812 \
-v $(pwd)/monitrc:/etc/monitrc \
kijart/monit
```
### 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`.
