⁠Parameters

⁠Ports (--expose)

⁠Environment Variables (-e)

⁠Volume Mappings (-v)

⁠Application Setup

• Environment variables can also be passed in a file named env in the config directory. This file is sourced by the shell.
• The M/Monit configuration directories are extracted into a directory in /config named monit-${MONIT_VERSION} unless it already exists.
• It is recommended to use nginx as an SSL proxy for security.

⁠Backups

If the /backup volume is mounted, periodic (hourly, daily, weekly and monthly) backups will be created with a retention of (25 hours, 8 days, 5 weeks, and 12 months respectively). The onwership will be the container PUID and PGID.

Logs will be stored in /config/logs/backup.log and rotated monthly.

⁠Upgrading

• The container will automatically run the M/Monit upgrade script if /config/version indicates an older version was last run.
• Old versions /config/mmonit-${MMONIT_VERSION} will need to be manually removed at this time.

⁠TODO

• Facilitate setup of a database other than sqlite3.
• Backup databases other than sqlite3
• Keep only last version of mmonit-${VERSION} dir
