healthchecks

linuxserver/healthchecks

Healthchecks is a watchdog for your cron jobs. It's a web server that listens for pings from your cron jobs, plus a web interface.

Supported Architectures

We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/healthchecks:latest 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	Available	Tag
x86-64	✅	amd64-<version tag>
arm64	✅	arm64v8-<version tag>
armhf	❌

Application Setup

Access the WebUI at :8000. For more information, check out Healthchecks.

Note on `CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS`

On first run (or any startup where REGENERATE_SETTINGS=true) we will set CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS to match the value of SITE_ROOT. If you need different/additional origins, you will need to edit /config/local_settings.py and add them yourself. Note that setting REGENERATE_SETTINGS=true will overwrite any changes on startup.

Usage

To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

docker-compose (recommended, click here for more info)

Parameters

Containers 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
`8000`	Healthchecks Web UI
`2525`	Port for inbound SMTP pings

Environment Variables (`-e`)

Env	Function
`PUID=1000`	for UserID - see below for explanation
`PGID=1000`	for GroupID - see below for explanation
`TZ=Etc/UTC`	specify a timezone to use, see this list.
`SITE_ROOT=`	The site's top-level URL and the port it listens to if differrent than 80 or 443 (e.g., https://healthchecks.example.com:8000)
`SITE_NAME=`	The site's name (e.g., "Example Corp HealthChecks")
`DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL=`	From email for alerts
`EMAIL_HOST=`	SMTP host
`EMAIL_PORT=`	SMTP port
`EMAIL_HOST_USER=`	SMTP user
`EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD=`	SMTP password
`EMAIL_USE_TLS=`	Use TLS for SMTP (`True` or `False`)
`SUPERUSER_EMAIL=`	Superuser email
`SUPERUSER_PASSWORD=`	Superuser password
`REGENERATE_SETTINGS=`	Defaults to False. Set to True to always override the `local_settings.py` file with values from environment variables. Do not set to True if you have made manual modifications to this file.
`ALLOWED_HOSTS=`	Array of valid hostnames for the server `["test.com","test2.com"]` (default: `["*"]`)
`APPRISE_ENABLED=`	Defaults to False. A boolean that turns on/off the Apprise integration (https://github.com/caronc/apprise)
`DEBUG=`	Defaults to True. Debug mode relaxes CSRF protections and increases logging verbosity but should be disabled for production instances as it will impact performance and security.
`INTEGRATIONS_ALLOW_PRIVATE_IPS=`	Defaults to False. Set to True to allow integrations to connect to private IP addresses.
`PING_EMAIL_DOMAIN=`	The domain to use for generating ping email addresses.
`SECRET_KEY=`	A secret key used for cryptographic signing. Will generate a secure value if one is not supplied
`SITE_LOGO_URL=`	Full URL to custom site logo

Volume Mappings (`-v`)

Volume	Function
`/config`	Database and healthchecks config directory

Miscellaneous Options

Parameter	Function

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__MYVAR=/run/secrets/mysecretvariable

Will set the environment variable MYVAR based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretvariable 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 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 your_user as below:

id your_user

Example output:

uid=1000(your_user) gid=1000(your_user) groups=1000(your_user)

Docker Mods

We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.

Support Info

Shell access whilst the container is running:
```
docker exec -it healthchecks /bin/bash
```
To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
```
docker logs -f healthchecks
```

Container version number:

docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' healthchecks

Image version number:

docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/healthchecks:latest

Updating Info

Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.

Below are the instructions for updating containers:

Via Docker Compose

Update images:

All images:
```
docker-compose pull
```
Single image:
```
docker-compose pull healthchecks
```

Update containers:

All containers:
```
docker-compose up -d
```
Single container:
```
docker-compose up -d healthchecks
```

You can also remove the old dangling images:
```
docker image prune
```

Via Docker Run

Update the image:

docker pull lscr.io/linuxserver/healthchecks:latest

Stop the running container:
```
docker stop healthchecks
```
Delete the container:
```
docker rm healthchecks
```
Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your /config folder and settings will be preserved)
You can also remove the old dangling images:
```
docker image prune
```

Via Watchtower auto-updater (only use if you don't remember the original parameters)

Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:

docker run --rm \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  containrrr/watchtower \
  --run-once healthchecks

You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

!!! warning

We do not endorse the use of Watchtower as a solution to automated updates of existing Docker containers. In fact we generally discourage automated updates. However, this is a useful tool for one-time manual updates of containers where you have forgotten the original parameters. In the long term, we highly recommend using [Docker Compose](https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/docker-compose).

Image Update Notifications - Diun (Docker Image Update Notifier)

!!! tip

We recommend [Diun](https://crazymax.dev/diun/) for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.

Building locally

If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:

git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-healthchecks.git
cd docker-healthchecks
docker build \
  --no-cache \
  --pull \
  -t lscr.io/linuxserver/healthchecks:latest .

The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static

docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset

Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64.
