Smokeping keeps track of your network latency. For a full example of what this application is capable of visit UCDavis.
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/smokeping:latest
should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
Architecture | Available | Tag |
---|---|---|
x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-\<version tag> |
arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-\<version tag> |
armhf | ❌ |
http://<host-ip>/smokeping/smokeping.cgi
. For example, a full URL might look like https://smokeping.yourdomain.com/smokeping/smokeping.cgi
.Targets
file to ping the hosts you're interested in to match the format found there.docker exec smokeping pkill -f -HUP '/usr/bin/perl /usr/s?bin/smokeping(_cgi)?'
, where smokeping
is the container ID.docker restart smokeping
, where smokeping
is the container ID.Targets
file includes items that may or may not work. These are simply to provide examples of configuration.Targets
, Slaves
, and smokeping_secrets
files on the master host, per the documentation.To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

Containers are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal>
respectively. For example, -p 8080:80
would expose port 80
from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080
outside the container.
Parameter | Function |
---|---|
-p 80 |
Allows HTTP access to the internal webserver. |
-e PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
-e PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
-e TZ=Etc/UTC |
specify a timezone to use, see this list. |
-e MASTER_URL=http://<master-host-ip>:80/smokeping/ |
Specify the master url to connect to. Used when in slave mode. |
-e SHARED_SECRET=password |
Specify the master shared secret for this host. Used when in slave mode. |
-e CACHE_DIR=/tmp |
Specify the cache directory for this host. Used when in slave mode. |
-v /config |
Persistent config files |
-v /data |
Storage location for db and application data (graphs etc) |
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__
.
As an example:
-e FILE__MYVAR=/run/secrets/mysecretvariable
Will set the environment variable MYVAR
based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretvariable
file.
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022
setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.
When using volumes (-v
flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID
and group PGID
.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000
and PGID=1000
, to find yours use id your_user
as below:
id your_user
Example output:
uid=1000(your_user) gid=1000(your_user) groups=1000(your_user)
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it smokeping /bin/bash
To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f smokeping
Container version number:
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' smokeping
Image version number:
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/smokeping:latest
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (noted in the relevant readme.md), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
Update images:
All images:
docker-compose pull
Single image:
docker-compose pull smokeping
Update containers:
All containers:
docker-compose up -d
Single container:
docker-compose up -d smokeping
You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Update the image:
docker pull lscr.io/linuxserver/smokeping:latest
Stop the running container:
docker stop smokeping
Delete the container:
docker rm smokeping
Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your /config
folder and settings will be preserved)
You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
[!TIP] We recommend Diun for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-smokeping.git
cd docker-smokeping
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t lscr.io/linuxserver/smokeping:latest .
The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset
Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64
.
