# docker2mqtt - Deliver docker status information over MQTT

This program uses `docker events` to watch for changes in your docker containers, and `docker stats` for metrics about those containers, and delivers current status to MQTT. It will also publish Home Assistant MQTT Discovery messages so that (binary) sensors automatically show up in Home Assistant.

_This is part of a family of similar tools:_

* [miaucl/linux2mqtt](https://github.com/miaucl/linux2mqtt)
* [miaucl/docker2mqtt](https://github.com/miaucl/docker2mqtt)
* [miaucl/systemctl2mqtt](https://github.com/miaucl/systemctl2mqtt)

## Installation and Deployment

It is available as python package on [pypi/docker2mqtt](https://pypi.org/p/docker2mqtt) or as a docker image on [ghcr.io/docker2mqtt](https://github.com/miaucl/docker2mqtt/pkgs/container/docker2mqtt).

### Pypi package

[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/docker2mqtt.svg)](https://pypi.org/p/docker2mqtt)

```bash
pip install docker2mqtt
docker2mqtt --name MyDockerName --events -vvvvv
```

Usage

```python
from docker2mqtt import Docker2Mqtt, DEFAULT_CONFIG

cfg = Docker2MqttConfig({ 
  **DEFAULT_CONFIG,
  "host": "mosquitto",
  "enable_events": True
})

try:
  docker2mqtt = Docker2Mqtt(cfg)
  docker2mqtt.loop_busy()

except Exception as ex:
  # Do something
```

### Docker image

[1]: <https://ghcr-badge.egpl.dev/miaucl/docker2mqtt/tags?color=%23B8860B&ignore=latest&n=1&label=image&trim=>
[2]: <https://ghcr-badge.egpl.dev/miaucl/docker2mqtt/tags?color=%2344cc11&ignore=latest,*-rc*&n=3&label=image&trim=>
[3]: <https://ghcr-badge.egpl.dev/miaucl/docker2mqtt/size?color=%231E90FF&tag=latest&label=image+size&trim=>

Use docker to launch this. Please note that you must give it access to your docker socket, which is typically located at `/var/run/docker.sock`. A typical invocation is:

`docker run --network mqtt -e MQTT_HOST=mosquitto -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ghcr.io/miaucl/docker2mqtt`

You can also use docker compose:

```yaml
services:
  docker2mqtt:
    container_name: docker2mqtt
    image: ghcr.io/miaucl/docker2mqtt
    environment:
      - DOCKER2MQTT_HOSTNAME=my_docker_host
      - MQTT_HOST=mosquitto
      - MQTT_USER=username
      - MQTT_PASSWD=password
      - EVENTS=true
      - STATS=true
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
```

## Default Configuration

You can use environment variables to control the behavior.

| Config | Env Variable | Default | Description |
| -------- | -------------- | --------- | ------------- |
| `log_level` | `LOG_LEVEL` | `4` | Set to `DEBUG=5,INFO=4,WARN=3,ERROR=2,CRITICAL=1` to enable different levels of verbosity. |
| `log_dir` | `LOG_DIR` | `` | Set path to for additional logging to file. |
| `docker2mqtt_hostname` | `DOCKER2MQTT_HOSTNAME` | docker2mqtt Container Hostname | The hostname of your docker host. This will be the container's hostname by default, you probably want to override it. |
| `homeassistant_prefix` | `HOMEASSISTANT_PREFIX` | `homeassistant` | The prefix for Home Assistant discovery. Must be the same as `discovery_prefix` in your Home Assistant configuration. |
| `homeassistant_single_device` | `HOMEASSISTANT_SINGLE_DEVICE` | `false` | Group all entities by a single device in Home Assistant instead of one device per entity. |
| `mqtt_client_id` | `MQTT_CLIENT_ID` | `mqtt2discord` | The client id to send to the MQTT broker. |
| `mqtt_host` | `MQTT_HOST` | `localhost` | The MQTT broker to connect to. |
| `mqtt_port` | `MQTT_PORT` | `1883` | The port on the broker to connect to. |
| `mqtt_user` | `MQTT_USER` | | The user to send to the MQTT broker. Leave unset to disable authentication. |
| `mqtt_password` | `MQTT_PASSWD` | | The password to send to the MQTT broker. Leave unset to disable authentication. |
| `mqtt_timeout` | `MQTT_TIMEOUT` | `30` | The timeout for the MQTT connection. |
| `mqtt_topic_prefix` | `MQTT_TOPIC_PREFIX` | `docker` | The MQTT topic prefix. With the default data will be published to `docker/<hostname>`. |
| `mqtt_qos` | `MQTT_QOS` | `1` | The MQTT QOS level |
| `container_whitelist` | `CONTAINER_WHITELIST` | | Define a whitelist for containers to consider, if empty, everything is monitored. The entries are either match as literal strings or as regex. |
| `container_blacklist` | `CONTAINER_BLACKLIST` | | Define a blacklist for containers to consider, takes priority over whitelist. The entries are either match as literal strings or as regex. |
| `destroyed_container_ttl` | `DESTROYED_CONTAINER_TTL` | `86400` | How long, in seconds, before destroyed containers are removed from Home Assistant. Containers won't be removed if the service is restarted before the TTL expires. |
| `stats_record_seconds` | `STATS_RECORD_SECONDS` | `30` | The number of seconds to record state and make an average |
| `enable_events` | `EVENTS` | `<none>` | Set to enable and leave out to disable processing events |
| `enable_stats` | `STATS` | `<none>` | Set to enable and leave out to disable processing statistics |

## Consuming The Data

Data is published to the topic `docker/<DOCKER2MQTT_HOSTNAME>/<container>/events` using JSON serialization. It will arrive whenever a change happens and its type can be inspected in [type_definitions.py](https://github.com/miaucl/docker2mqtt/blob/master/docker2mqtt/type_definitions.py) or the documentation.

Data is also published to the topic `docker/<DOCKER2MQTT_HOSTNAME>/<container>/stats` using JSON serialization. It will arrive every `STATS_RECORD_SECONDS` seconds or so and its type can be inspected in [type_definitions.py](https://github.com/miaucl/docker2mqtt/blob/master/docker2mqtt/type_definitions.py) or the documentation.

## Home Assistant

Once `docker2mqtt` is collecting data and publishing it to MQTT, it's rather trivial to use the data in Home Assistant.

A few assumptions:

* **Home Assistant is already configured to use a MQTT broker.** Setting up MQTT and HA is beyond the scope of this documentation. However, there are a lot of great tutorials on YouTube. An external broker (or as add-on) like [Mosquitto](https://mosquitto.org/) will need to be installed and the HA MQTT integration configured.
* **The HA MQTT integration is configured to use `homeassistant` as the MQTT autodiscovery prefix.** This is the default for the integration and also the default for `docker2mqtt`. If you have changed this from the default, use the `--prefix` parameter to specify the correct one.
* **You're not using TLS to connect to the MQTT broker.** Currently `docker2mqtt` only works with unencrypted connections. Username / password authentication can be specified with the `--username` and `--password` parameters, but TLS encryption is not yet supported.

After you start the service (binary) sensors should show up in Home Assistant immediately. Look for sensors that start with `(binary_)sensor.docker`. Metadata about the container will be available as attributes for events, which you can then expose using template sensors if you wish.

## Logging

`docker2mqtt` can log to a directory in addition to the console using the `--logdir` parameter. The specified directory can be absolute or relative and is created if it doesn't exist. The verbosity parameter applies to file logging and the log file size is limited to 1M bytes and 5 previous files are kept.

`docker2mqtt --name Server1 -vvvvv --logdir /var/log/docker2mqtt/`

## Documentation

Using `mkdocs`, the documentation and reference is generated and available on [github pages](https://miaucl.github.io/docker2mqtt/).

## Dev

Setup the dev environment using VSCode, it is highly recommended.

```bash
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements_dev.txt
```

Install [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com)

```bash
pre-commit install

# Run the commit hooks manually
pre-commit run --all-files
```

* [mypy](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=matangover.mypy)
* [markdownlint](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DavidAnson.vscode-markdownlint)

A _final version_ can only be released from the `master` branch. To pass the gates of the `publish` workflow, the version must match in both the `tag` and `docker2mqtt/__init__.py`.

To release a prerelease version, it must be done from a feature branch (**not** `master`). Prerelease versions are explicitly marked as such on the GitHub release page.
