A Telegram integration to notify Docker events. This service notifies about container start
, stop
, restart
events, and changes of Docker healthcheck status. If you wish you can add more event notifications in templates.js
file.
Set up a telegram bot and get the Bot Token
. then add the bot to a group and make it admin and extract the Chat ID.
Run a container as follows:
# Docker
docker run -d --env TELEGRAM_NOTIFIER_BOT_TOKEN=token --env TELEGRAM_NOTIFIER_CHAT_ID=chat_id --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro poma/docker-telegram-notifier
# Docker Compose
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/poma/docker-telegram-notifier/master/docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up -d
You can suppress notifications from certain containers by adding a label --label telegram-notifier.monitor=false
to them. If you want to receive notifications only from whitelisted containers, set --env ONLY_WHITELIST=true
environment variable on the notifier instance, and --label telegram-notifier.monitor=true
label on the containers you want to monitor.
By default notifier connects to a local docker instance (don't forget to specify --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
for this case). But if you have monitoring and the service on the same host, you will not receive notifications if the host goes down. So I recommend to have monitoring separately.
Notifier accepts usual DOCKER_HOST
and DOCKER_CERT_PATH
environment variables to specify remote instance. For http endpoint you need to specify only --env DOCKER_HOST=tcp://example.com:2375
(make sure to keep such instances behind the firewall). For https, you'll also need to mount a volume with https certificates that contains ca.pem
, cert.pem
, and key.pem
: --env DOCKER_HOST=tcp://example.com:2376 --env DOCKER_CERT_PATH=/certs --volume $(pwd):/certs
