⁠Using this image

⁠docker-compose

 wget --no-check-certificate  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/babyfenei/docker-cacti/master/docker-compose.yml &&  docker-compose up -d

⁠Running the container

This docker image is based on cacti0.8.8h. It does not have a database by default. You must use an external mysql database or a mysql database docker image. The database docker image I used in the test environment is million12/mariadb, but this database image cannot modify the time zone. You can also use other mysql images, preferably you can modify the time zone.

⁠Exposed Ports

The following ports are important and used by Cacti

It is recommended to allow at least one of the above ports for access to the monitoring system. This is translated by the -p hook. For example

⁠Database deployment

To be able to connect to database we would need one to be running first. Easiest way to do that is to use another docker image. For this purpose we will use our million12/mariadb⁠ image as our database.

**For more information about million12/MariaDB see our documentation.⁠ **

Example:

docker run \
-d \
--name cacti-db \
-p 3306:3306 \
--env="MARIADB_USER=cactiuser" \
--env="MARIADB_PASS=my_password" \
million12/mariadb

Remember to use the same credentials when deploying cacti image.

⁠Environmental Variable Mysql

In this Image you can use environmental variables to connect into external MySQL/MariaDB database.

⁠Cacti Deployment

Now when we have our database running we can deploy cacti image with appropriate environmental variables set.

Example:

docker run \
-d \
--name cacti \
-p 80:80 \
-p 514:514 \
--env="DB_HOST=localhost" \
--env="DB_PORT=3306 \
--env="DB_USER=cactiuser" \
--env="DB_PASSWORD=cactiuser" \
--env="TIMEZONE=Asia/Shanghai" \
--env="RRDTOOL_LOGO=CACTI0.8.8h/RRDTOOL1.4.9-BY:Fenei" \
--env="INITIALIZE_DB=0" \
-v '/data/cacti/html':'/var/www/html':'rw' \
-v '/data/cacti/backups':'/var/www/backups':'rw' \
-v '/data/cacti/export':'/var/www/export':'rw' \
babyfenei/cacti-0.8.8h

⁠Environmental Variable cacti

In this Image you can use environmental variables to connect into external MySQL/MariaDB database.

⁠VOLUME: Mount directory description

⁠Access Cacti web interface

To log in into cacti for the first time use credentials admin:admin. System will ask you to change those when logged in for the firts time.

⁠Notice

If realtime has graphics and data, but the graphics list has no data, please use select * from cacti.poller_time; in the mysql database to query the poller time. If the time does not match the cacti server time, you need to modify the mysql database server. Time or use set time_zone = '${mysql_zone}';Modify database time
