cfra/deadman-web repository overview

⁠deadman-web

⁠What is it

deadman⁠ is a slick monitoring tool which does continuous ping checks against network infrastructure, written for CLI.

For combining it into a dashboard with other monitoring information, it is useful to have it available for consumption with a browser.

To achieve this, shellinabox⁠ is used to execute deadman.

For easier reproduction of that setup, this repository provides a Dockerfile. That file is also built automatically on dockerhub⁠.

⁠Usage

The container expects to be provided with a deadman configuration at /config/deadman.conf.

If you have the repository available locally, you can use run.sh to start deadman-web. It will setup a bind mount for configuration with the example configuration from the repository and make the container available on port 4200.
