You will most probably NOT want to use Docker to deploy LibreNMS in a production environment.

Or donate to the team once you have set up your NMS systems.

If you are looking for an Open Source solution, reach out to the LibreNMS team for professional support.

You might not even be here in the first place 🙂.

Or, since we are using Docker, run it with another Debian/Linux host to save some vCPU.

You are probably running some crazy stuffs already like netdata, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK.Works best with x1 Server or x1 NAS capable of running Docker.Very narrow WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) range to play with 😉.Tighter Budget or use what is already available.Whether you would want this setup or not, is entirely up to your budget, organization, policies, performance and the number of SNMP devices you wish to monitor Taking this tutorial, for example, I could set up:Īll running in one host (Synology), and still have room to spare for other containers One Point of Failure? With Docker we can deploy X number of Containers with different settings, depending on your host performance of course If you are here, you’ve probably seen the rise of Docker/Kubernetes/Stacks etc On standard not-so-modern systems, you would imagine the number of machines/servers/hardware that needs to be added into a company just to deploy a new software eg: LibreNMS This ‘host’ can be a machine (Server, Computer & Laptop), Synology NAS (this tutorial) or a Virtual Machine What this means is that, you can actually run more than one LibreNMS/MariaDB containers on the same host Using Docker also has its other merits, looking at my recent tutorial screenshots, you can see that I am doing a fresh test install of MariaDB/LibreNMS under mariadb-test/librenms-test on different ports Thank you jarischaefer! Multiple Containers in a Single Host Using jarischaefer’s image has helped a great deal as the image already contains the web server, RRD and memcached installed and working properly. The best part? I am still using Docker containers Since then I have already stepped up my installation to a 3 point distributed LibreNMS setup This tutorial was written at that point in time when I was still new to Terminals and Linux.

Go through LibreNMS’s installation documentation and you will be expected to set up a web server (nginx or Apache), RRD, memcached and MariaDB on the host, by yourself, before installing LibreNMS

What follows are my thoughts and experiences Why Docker? Packaged Web Server You can contact me by leaving a comment on this site or join my Discord server (link widget at bottom of page) Hope this tutorial was helpful to anyone looking to deploying an NMS to monitor devices, be it for personal home or business useĪs of current, I have a production LibreNMS installed precisely as written in this tutorial, ready to alert our telco’s NOC department when a monitored business line is suffering from downtime
