[Smokeping](https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/) keeps track of your network latency. For a full example of what this application is capable of visit [UCDavis](http://smokeping.ucdavis.edu/cgi-bin/smokeping.fcgi).

## Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures such as `x86-64`, `arm64` and `armhf`. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker [here](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/spec/manifest-v2-2.md#manifest-list) and our announcement [here](https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/02/21/the-lsio-pipeline-project/).

Simply pulling `linuxserver/smokeping` should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

| Architecture | Tag |
| :----: | --- |
| x86-64 | amd64-latest |
| arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
| armhf | arm32v7-latest |


## Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.

### docker

```
docker create \
  --name=smokeping \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -p 80:80 \
  -v </path/to/smokeping/config>:/config \
  -v </path/to/smokeping/data>:/data \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/smokeping
```


### docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

```yaml
---
version: "2.1"
services:
  smokeping:
    image: linuxserver/smokeping
    container_name: smokeping
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London
    volumes:
      - </path/to/smokeping/config>:/config
      - </path/to/smokeping/data>:/data
    ports:
      - 80:80
    restart: unless-stopped
```

## Parameters

Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate `<external>:<internal>` respectively. For example, `-p 8080:80` would expose port `80` from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port `8080` outside the container.

### Ports (`-p`)

| Parameter | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `80` | Allows HTTP access to the internal webserver. |


### Environment Variables (`-e`)

| Env | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `PUID=1000` | for UserID - see below for explanation |
| `PGID=1000` | for GroupID - see below for explanation |
| `TZ=Europe/London` | Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London |

### Volume Mappings (`-v`)

| Volume | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `/config` | Configure the `Targets` file here |
| `/data` | Storage location for db and application data (graphs etc) |



## Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)

You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend `FILE__`.

As an example:

```
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
```

Will set the environment variable `PASSWORD` based on the contents of the `/run/secrets/mysecretpassword` file.

## Umask for running applications

For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional `-e UMASK=022` setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask) before asking for support.


## User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (`-v` flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user `PUID` and group `PGID`.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance `PUID=1000` and `PGID=1000`, to find yours use `id user` as below:

```
  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
```

## Application Setup

- Once running the URL will be `http://<host-ip>/`.
- Basics are, edit the `Targets` file to ping the hosts you're interested in to match the format found there.
- Wait 10 minutes.
