obitwo/icinga2-server repository overview

This guide will help you to install Icinga2 with the server side (backend or master), the database and the web (frontend) side. Official website and documentation available on https://www.icinga.com/⁠.

⁠Installing the database

docker run -d -e POSTGRES_USER=icinga2 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=icinga2 --name db postgres

⁠Populating the database

This command will populate automatically the database. This docker is not persistent and will be stopped once database is configured.

docker run -d --link db:db obitwo/icinga2-database

⁠Installing the server

Now you can start the server side. After running this command, the server will immediately start the checks. You can then adjust the configuration files in your volume.

docker run -v /path-cfg/:/etc/icinga2 -d --link db:db --name icinga2-server icinga2-server

⁠Installing the Web side

docker run docker run -d --link db:db -p 4000:80 --name icinga2-web icinga2-web
