pingCheck.php on Docker

[Nisbo]

Hello,

I am running phpipam 1.4 dbversion25 in a Docker container on a Synology NAS
I uses this image
https://hub.docker.com/r/phpipam/phpipam-www/

The Name of the Conatainer is: phpipam_phpipam-web_1

If I login to the NAS via SSH, change to root and try to execute the command
docker exec phpipam_phpipam-web_1 /usr/bin/php /var/www/phpipam/functions/scripts/pingCheck.php

I got this error
Could not open input file: /var/www/phpipam/functions/scripts/pingCheck.php

I also tried:
docker exec -it phpipam_phpipam-web_1 /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/functions/scripts/pingCheck.php
because there are 2 diffrent manuals available if I googled it

The 1st part
docker exec phpipam_phpipam-web_1
should be OK, if I change the name of the container

I get the expected error
Error response from daemon: No such container: phpipam_phpipam-web_11

are there any changes to the version 1.4 ?

Currently phpipam checks the hosts every hour but I dont know where this is configured

There was also a container installed with the name
phpipam_phpipam-cron_1
so I assume this a docker corn job but I dont know how to configure it

Any idea ? I am not a docker profi, sorry for the stupid questions ;)

Hi @Nisbo

I started a thread for testing the docker images #2425. I'm hoping to get everything running well for the 1.40 release. At the moment I'm only tracking the git master branch.

The php files are installed into /phpipam. The command you need is...

docker exec -it phpipam_phpipam-web_1 /usr/bin/php /phpipam/functions/scripts/pingCheck.php

Multiple load-balanced frontend phpipam-web containers are supported. Ping and discovery scanning is via the phpipam-cron container (should run only 1 phpipam-cron container). Discovery scanning is currently hard-coded to 1 hour, changing this to be configurable is the last open issue.

Ideas, testing and feedback would be helpful.

Thanks

@GaryAllan

thx for your quick reply, the CMD works like a charm :)
Maybe as a hint for everyone who is also new to docker, you can use the ls command to check the content of a directory

docker exec -it phpipam_phpipam-web_1 ls /phpipam/

I found this option after I started this thread but was still unable to locate the pingCheck.php .. maybe it was already to late in the evening :D

I will join your docker thread, thx for heads up

Greetings from Germany :)

I've added an environment variable to the docker images.

• SCAN_INTERVAL Network discovery job interval = 5m,10m,15m,30m,1h,2h,4h,6h,12h (default: 1h) [CRON Container only]

Stupid question, as I said in the 1st post I am not so familiar with docker. How do I update a container and keep all the data / configuration ? Normally I use Docker only for IP-Symcon and IP-Symcon has a linked storage folder outside of the container.

Hello

There should be a "pull latest from repository" option (or something similar) in the GUI, I don't have access to a Synology NAS to check.

docker-compose can also be used directly via the CLI.

Persistent data is stored in volumes.
