SSH

Some checkers (like DockerChecker) use SSH. Configure your SSH access from Moni host to your servers as normal, then mount .ssh/ directory to Moni container through a volume.

docker-compose.yml

services:
  moni:
    volumes:
    - '~/.ssh/:/root/.ssh:ro'

UNIX permissions

Make sure that you set UNIX ownership/permissions, so that Moni container can read it.

Bash

chown root:$USER ~/.ssh/config
chmod 644 ~/.ssh/config
ssh-add -k ~/.ssh/id_rsa

SSH Config file

Recommend you to get familiar with .ssh/config and how to pre-set aliases for your connections. Moni accepts Host aliases as server's host setting and will use it's configs for connections. This is the recommended way.

config

Host host_alias
  HostName your.host.com # or IP
  User root
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/some_key.pub

settings.yml

checkers:
  docker:
    servers:
      host_alias:
