> [!NOTE]
> There is also an experimental 🧪 [bare-metal install](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/docs/HW_INSTALL.md) method available.
## 📕 Basic Usage
> [!WARNING]
> You will have to run the container on the `host` network.
```yaml
docker run -d --rm --network=host \
-v local/path/config:/app/config \
-v local/path/db:/app/db \
-e TZ=Europe/Berlin \
-e PORT=20211 \
jokobsk/netalertx:latest
```
- The initial scan can take up to 15min (with 50 devices and MQTT). Subsequent ones 3 and 5 minutes so wait that long for all of the scans to run.
### Docker environment variables
| Variable | Description | Default |
| :------------- |:-------------| -----:|
| `PORT` |Port of the web interface | `20211` |
| `LISTEN_ADDR` |Set the specific IP Address for the listener address for the nginx webserver (web interface). This could be useful when using multiple subnets to hide the web interface from all untrusted networks. | `0.0.0.0` |
|`TZ` |Time zone to display stats correctly. Find your time zone [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones) | `Europe/Berlin` |
|`APP_CONF_OVERRIDE` | JSON override for settings, e.g. `{"SCAN_SUBNETS":"['192.168.1.0/24 --interface=eth1']","UI_theme":"Dark"}` (Experimental 🧪) | `N/A` |
|`ALWAYS_FRESH_INSTALL` | If `true` will delete the content of the `/db` & `/config` folders. For testing purposes. Can be coupled with [watchtower](https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower) to have an always freshly installed `netalertx`/`netalertx-dev` image. | `N/A` |
> You can override the default GraphQL port setting `GRAPHQL_PORT` (set to `20212`) by using the `APP_CONF_OVERRIDE` env variable.
### Docker paths
> [!NOTE]
> See also [Backup strategies](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/docs/BACKUPS.md).
| Required | Path | Description |
| :------------- | :------------- | :-------------|
| ✅ | `:/app/config` | Folder which will contain the `app.conf` & `devices.csv` ([read about devices.csv](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/docs/DEVICES_BULK_EDITING.md)) files (see below for details). |
| ✅ | `:/app/db` | Folder which will contain the `app.db` file |
| | `:/app/front/log` | Logs folder useful for debugging if you have issues setting up the container |
| | `:/etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.db` | PiHole's `pihole-FTL.db` database file. Required if you want to use PiHole DB mapping. |
| | `:/etc/pihole/dhcp.leases` | PiHole's `dhcp.leases` file. Required if you want to use PiHole `dhcp.leases` file. This has to be matched with a corresponding `DHCPLSS_paths_to_check` setting entry (the path in the container must contain `pihole`)|
| | `:/app/api` | A simple [API endpoint](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/docs/API.md) containing static (but regularly updated) json and other files. |
| | `:/app/front/plugins/<plugin>/ignore_plugin` | Map a file `ignore_plugin` to ignore a plugin. Plugins can be soft-disabled via settings. More in the [Plugin docs](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/front/plugins/README.md). |
| | `:/etc/resolv.conf` | Use a custom `resolv.conf` file for [better name resolution](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/docs/REVERSE_DNS.md). |
> Use separate `db` and `config` directories, don't nest them.
### (If UI is not available) Modify the config (`app.conf`)
- The preferred way is to manage the configuration via the Settings section in the UI.
- You can modify [app.conf](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/tree/main/config) directly, if needed.
- If unavailable, the app generates a default `app.conf` and `app.db` file on the first run.
### ⚙ Important settings
These are the most important settings to get at least some output in your Devices screen. Usually, only one approach is used, but you can combine these approaches.
| Scan method | Setting | Description |
| :------------- | :------------- | :-------------|
| arp-scan, nmap-scan | `SCAN_SUBNETS` | See the documentation on how [to setup SUBNETS, VLANs & limitations](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/blob/main/docs/SUBNETS.md) |
| PiHole | `PIHOLE_RUN` | There are 2 approaches how to get PiHole devices imported. Via the PiHole import (`PIHOLE`) plugin or DHCP leases (`DHCPLSS`) plugin. The `PIHOLE` plugin requires you to map the PiHole database, as mentioned above. |
| dhcp.leases | `DHCPLSS_RUN` | You need to map `:/etc/myfiles/dhcp.leases` in the `docker-compose.yml` file if you enable this setting. This path has to be matched with a corresponding `DHCPLSS_paths_to_check` setting entry (check the [DHCPLSS plugin readme](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/tree/main/front/plugins/dhcp_leases#overview) for details). |
> [!NOTE]
> It's recommended to use the same schedule interval for all plugins responsible for discovering new devices.

## 📄 docker-compose.yml Examples
### Example 1
```yaml
version: "3"
services:
netalertx:
container_name: netalertx
# use the below line if you want to test the latest dev image
# image: "jokobsk/netalertx-dev:latest"
image: "jokobsk/netalertx:latest"
network_mode: "host"
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- local/path/config:/app/config
- local/path/db:/app/db
# (optional) useful for debugging if you have issues setting up the container
- local/path/logs:/app/front/log
environment:
- TZ=Europe/Berlin
- PORT=20211
```
To run the container execute: `sudo docker-compose up -d`
### Example 2
Example by [SeimuS](https://github.com/SeimusS).
```yaml
netalertx:
container_name: NetAlertX
hostname: NetAlertX
privileged: true
# use the below line if you want to test the latest dev image
# image: "jokobsk/netalertx-dev:latest"
image: jokobsk/netalertx:latest
environment:
- TZ=Europe/Bratislava
restart: always
volumes:
- ./netalertx/db:/app/db
- ./netalertx/config:/app/config
network_mode: host
```
To run the container execute: `sudo docker-compose up -d`
### Example 3
`docker-compose.yml`
```yaml
version: "3"
services:
netalertx:
container_name: netalertx
# use the below line if you want to test the latest dev image
# image: "jokobsk/netalertx-dev:latest"
image: "jokobsk/netalertx:latest"
network_mode: "host"
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- ${APP_DATA_LOCATION}/netalertx/config:/app/config
- ${APP_DATA_LOCATION}/netalertx/db/:/app/db/
# (optional) useful for debugging if you have issues setting up the container
- ${LOGS_LOCATION}:/app/front/log
environment:
- TZ=${TZ}
- PORT=${PORT}
```
`.env` file
```yaml
#GLOBAL PATH VARIABLES
APP_DATA_LOCATION=/path/to/docker_appdata
APP_CONFIG_LOCATION=/path/to/docker_config
LOGS_LOCATION=/path/to/docker_logs
#ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
TZ=Europe/Paris
PORT=20211
#DEVELOPMENT VARIABLES
DEV_LOCATION=/path/to/local/source/code
```
To run the container execute: `sudo docker-compose --env-file /path/to/.env up`
### Example 4
Courtesy of [pbek](https://github.com/pbek). The volume `netalertx_db` is used by the db directory. The two config files are mounted directly from a local folder to their places in the config folder. You can backup the `docker-compose.yaml` folder and the docker volumes folder.
```yaml
netalertx:
# use the below line if you want to test the latest dev image
# image: "jokobsk/netalertx-dev:latest"
image: jokobsk/netalertx
ports:
- "80:20211/tcp"
environment:
- TZ=Europe/Vienna
networks:
local:
ipv4_address: 192.168.1.2
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- netalertx_db:/app/db
- ./netalertx/:/app/config/
```
