Ask HN: What software service to monitor the health of my docker containers?

2 points by thepredestrian 7 years ago | 2 comments

I have a couple of docker containers that I run on DigitalOcean.

I want a simple tool to alert me whenever they die or if the app exits.

Right now what I do is run a Python script that sends me a Telegram message whenever a container dies.

Are there any simple, lightweight solutions out there? I do not need anything complex.

What's wrong with the python script and what other features do you expect? It seems like you already have a solution, so its hard to figure out what requirements are missing.

Wanted to see if there are less hacky ways to do it.
