⁠What is the hpmon_pushover container?

It's a simple tool, developed in python, to validate if a given URL is up and running and sends a message over Pushover⁠ service if not.

⁠Prerequisites to run the docker container

1. You need a Pushover account and you need to create a new application for that (UserKey, ApiKey)
2. You need to create a configuration file in json format with the webpages to check

⁠Configuration

⁠Container configuration

The container grab the configuration via environment variables.

⁠Monitoring configuration

The configuration file (referenced in environment variable MONITORING_CONFIGURATION_URL) is in json format. The inner main json frame is:

{
  "webpages": []
}

Inside the webpages array, you can define objects with the following attributes:

⁠Example

{
  "webpages": [
    {
      "monitoring_url": "http://www.example.com/",
    },
    {
      "monitoring_url": "http://www.example.com/",
      "response_ok_data": "This domain is for use in illustrative examples in documents.",
    },
    {
      "monitoring_url": "http://www.example.com/",
      "response_ok_data": "Status: OK",
      "response_warn_data": "Status: WARNING"
    }
  ]
}

⁠Docker run

docker run --rm \
  -e MONITORING_CONFIGURATION_URL='https://github.com/cybcon/docker.hpmon-pushover/blob/main/example_config.json?raw=true' \
  -e PUSHOVER_USER_KEY='myPushoverUserKey' \
  -e PUSHOVER_API_KEY='myPushoverApiKey' \
  oitc/hpmon-pushover:latest

⁠Docker compose configuration

  monitoring:
    restart: "no"
    image: oitc/hpmon-pushover:latest
    environment:
      MONITORING_CONFIGURATION_URL: https://github.com/cybcon/docker.hpmon-pushover/blob/main/example_config.json?raw=true
      PUSHOVER_USER_KEY: myPushoverUserKey
      PUSHOVER_API_KEY: myPushoverApiKey

⁠Example crontab entry

This is an example crontab entry to trigger the docker container every 5pm to send the updates for tomorrow using docker compose.

* 0,15,30,45 * * * /usr/bin/docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml run --rm monitoring >/dev/null 2>&1
