DockerHub Description for Networkmonitor - Internet Failure Detection and Powercycle

Networkmonitor - Internet Failure Detection and Powercycle

Overview: Networkmonitor is a Go program designed for Internet Failure Detection and Powercycle automation. It allows users to monitor their router's internet connection by periodically checking a specified URL. In the event of an internet failure, Networkmonitor automatically triggers a power cycle on a Tasmota-compatible plug connected to the network. This automation eliminates the need for manual intervention and efficiently resolves common network issues.

Key Features:

• Lightweight and efficient Go program
• Periodic internet connection checks using a user-defined URL
• Automated power cycle on a Tasmota-compatible plug for fast issue resolution
• Configurable check interval and Tasmota device IP address
• Dockerized for easy deployment and minimal resource usage (approximately 3MB RAM)
• Environment variable configuration for flexibility

How to Use:

1. Pull the Networkmonitor Docker image from DockerHub. The image is small, and when unpacked, it is approximately 7MB in size:

   docker pull marckumar/networkmonitor
   

   Copy

• The container requires less than 3MB of RAM to run efficiently, making it lightweight and suitable for resource-constrained environments.

1. Set the required environment variables while running the Docker container:

   docker run --name networkmonitor_container -e check_url=your_url -e check_interval=your_interval -e tasmota_ip=your_device_ip your_username/networkmonitor
   

   Copy

Configuration (Environment Variables):

• check_url: The URL used for internet connection checks.
• check_interval: The time interval (in seconds) for checking the internet connection.
• tasmota_ip: The IP address of your Tasmota-compatible plug.
