NAME="observium"
DIR=$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )
docker run -d \
	-v $DIR/data:/data \
	-p 80:80 \
	-e TZ="Europe/Vienna" \
	--link $NAME-db:mysql \
	-e POLLER=24 \

Convert from older version with integrated DB to new container

• we use "ocontainer" as container name. replace it with your name.

mkdir mysql
docker exec -it ocontainer mysqldump observium > mysql/observiumdb.sql
mkdir data
mv config data/ && mv rrd data/ && mv logs data/
chown nobody:users data -R

• now run your db container, we use the example from above, then run this command (observium-db is the container name)

echo "#!/bin/bash" > mysql/import.sh
echo "mysql -u observium -pobserviumpwd observium < /var/lib/mysql/observiumdb.sql" >> mysql/import.sh
chmod 0755 mysql/import.sh
docker exec -it observium-db bash /var/lib/mysql/import.sh
rm -f mysql/import.sh mysql/observiumdb.sql
rm data/config/databases -rf

• now run your observium container, like the example from above

---

Plugins

• to use the weathermap plugin do following:

[change to your data folder on host]
mkdir plugins (if it not exists. first run of this container will create it.)
cd plugins
git clone https://github.com/laf/Weathermap-for-Observium.git weathermap
