Unraid -

The docker template for monitee-agent is pretty standard, so if you are familiar with unraid it will be a easy task.

The template is using host-mode networking. This means the app will fail to start if 8080 and 8443 is not available. To fix it, read the “Prepare configuration” section.

Prepare directories

Let’s create a directory in our appdata for monitee-agent and then move into it

This tutorial assumes you are doing it from a terminal. But these parts can also be done from smb or another file manager.

Bash

mkdir /mnt/user/appdata/monitee-agent && cd /mnt/user/appdata/monitee-agent

Next, lets create the data and config folders inside the monitee-agent directory

Bash

mkdir config && mkdir data

Prepare configuration

Like mentioned earlier, port 8080 and 8443 need to be open. So lets get the config files and configure the username and password as well as the ports.

Bash

cd /mnt/user/appdata/monitee-agent/config
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Krillsson/monitee-agent/refs/heads/master/config/configuration.yml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Krillsson/monitee-agent/refs/heads/master/config/application.properties

Use nano to change the ports in application.properties

Bash

nano application.properties

YAML

#########################################
### sys-API spring configuration      ###
#########################################
# Application ports
http.port=8080
server.port=8443

Then press CTRL+X to exit nano (and press Y to save)

Then lets change the default username and password

Bash

nano configuration.yml

YAML

#########################################
### sys-API user configuration        ###
#########################################
#
# Line 20 
user: 
  username: user # <--- CHANGE ME
  password: password  # <--- AND ME

Again, press CTRL+X to exit nano (and press Y to save)

Installation

Search for monitee-agent in the Community Applications store.

Now that everything is prepared we can just choose the directories we created during the preparation and the rest will just work.

And then lets add the disks we want to monitor as devices inside the “Extra parameters” along with the capability RAWIO.

Example:

–cap-add SYS_RAWIO –device=/dev/sda –device=/dev/sdb

We can verify that the server is working by looking at the logs in the unraid UI.

Bash

[...]: Tomcat started on ports 8443 (https), 8080 (http) with context path '/'
[...]: Started SysAPIApplicationKt in 6.352 seconds (process running for 7.234)

Now you are ready to proceed to next step
