  • Cannot start Pandora FMS in Docker

    Hi! I’m currently trying to get Pandora FMS Server / Console running in Docker. And it’s not running well. Where can I find a good, english tutorial for that? Please some sort of text, not a Youtube video.

    1) this is my setup script:

    docker pull \
    pandorafms/pandorafms-open-stack-el8

    docker run –detach \
    –name=pandora \
    –memory=1g \
    -p 8090:80 \

    -p 41121:41121 \

    -p «162:162/udp» \

    -p «9995:9995/udp» \

    -e DBHOST=<ip-address> \
    -e DBNAME=pandora \

    -e DBUSER=pandora \

    -e DBPASS=<password> \
    -e DBPORT=3306 \

    –volume <path>/etc:/etc/pandora:rw \
    –volume <path>/log:/var/log/pandora:rw \
    –restart unless-stopped \

    pandorafms/pandorafms-open-stack-el8

    2) I run the docker instance with docker start pandora, which works.

    3) In the Docker console, I see «You can now start the Pandora FMS Websocket service by executing» /etc/init.d/pandora_websocket_engine start . But in Dozzle, I cannot connect to the image via ssh. It just tells me «Attaching to pandora. Connection closed«

    4) In the Docker console, I also see «Please, now, point your browser to http://your_IP_address/pandora_console/install.php and follow all the steps described on it.«. I do that, of course with :8090 , I just get a «Cannot reach website. Connection reset by peer». I can reach the web pages of other docker containers without any problem.

    5) The last line of the Docker console is «– Loading database schema:«. And then, nothing. Looking into the database «pandora», it has a ton of tables in it, so the creation of the database apparently has worked. But I can’t get into the pandora console and I think that’s the next importan step to get Pandora FMS running.

    Please help!

    Hello,

    We do not have any documented procedure to install PandoraFMS in docker.

    The only thing we have is a YouTube video.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4N6qhaIzR4

    Here’s the link in case it can help you.

    Kind regards,

    Sergio B.

    Hello,

    Please do not paste logs directly to the post as some lines or symbols break it and I cannot answer back.

    I’ve changed the YouTube URL for the docker installation video, I don’t know why It copied the wrong one.

    Let me know if that video helps you out.

    Kind regards,
    Sergio B.
