Hi everyone! Monny-Docker is my mini-service for monitoring the status of Docker containers, which sends notifications to Telegram. I liked the idea of sending status updates to Telegram, and after one situation when a container unexpectedly failed to start, I created this implementation of the service for myself.
Project repository: https://github.com/DigneZzZ/monny-docker/
Setup on installation
During installation you will need to enter TelegramBotID and ChatID. ChatID is the place where the bot will write messages. In my case this is a separate channel (only for me), where my bots sit and send notifications when needed.
The service will automatically install all necessary dependencies for the Python script to run.
Management commands
monny help→ view the list of available commands;monny uninstall→ remove the service from the system;monny stop→ stop the service (if it starts spamming you too much, for example during a long restart);monny start→ start the service.
Basically, that’s the main functionality for now 
If you liked it and would also like to see the ability to choose containers for monitoring — write, I’ll try to implement it.
Installation
bash <(curl -L -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DigneZzZ/monny-docker/main/setup_monny.sh)
