hi all,

want to install netalertx but i would had thought it would be just straight forward to install docker and docker compose on my ubuntu server and just run this command from the terminal

docker run -d --rm --network=host \
  -v local_path/config:/app/config \
  -v local_path/db:/app/db \
  --mount type=tmpfs,target=/app/api \
  -e PUID=200 -e PGID=300 \
  -e TZ=Europe/Berlin \
  -e PORT=20211 \
  ghcr.io/jokob-sk/netalertx:latest

am i doing something stupid

thanks,
rob

ok ive added this in file /opt/netalertx/compose.yaml

services:
  netalertx:
    container_name: netalertx
    # use the below line if you want to test the latest dev image
    # image: "ghcr.io/jokob-sk/netalertx-dev:latest"
    image: "ghcr.io/jokob-sk/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/log
      # (API: OPTION 1) use for performance
      - type: tmpfs
        target: /app/api
      # (API: OPTION 2) use when debugging issues
      # -  local_path/api:/app/api
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - PORT=20211

now to run it i do this in the dir

docker-compose up -d

but i get errors

EDIT - ive restarted and i get this now

docker-compose up -d

sorted it

docker run -d --rm --network=host \
  -v /jokobsk/netalertx/app/config \
  -v /jokobsk/netalertx/app/db \
  --mount type=tmpfs,target=/jokobsk/netalertx/app/api \

you think its best to install via docker compose instead
