Duplicati Monitor

Duplicati Monitor is a docker-packaged monitoring solution for Duplicati.

It allows you to control the status of your backups and statistics for each report and notifies you by any means supported by Apprice. It is meant to be self-hosted and powered by docker.

Quick Start

Notifications

To send notifications and satisfy the end user, it has been implemented with the Apprise library, which allows you to send a notification to almost all the most popular notification services available today, such as: Telegram, Discord, Slack, Amazon SNS, Gotify, etc.

You can check all the services available in the official documentation.

Templates

You can create your own templates to receive the information you exactly need.

By default we use the following two:

# Succes backup
💾 🟢 <Extra.backup-name>

# Error backup 
💾 🔴 <Extra.backup-name>

You can create your own templates in a simple way. You only have to use the symbols < and > delimit the fields and separating keys with dots . to send along with the message that you want.

In the docs/examples_report folder of this repository you have two examples of the JSON reports that Duplicati sends and in which you can see the fields that compose it.

For example, with the following template, the result shown in the telegram image would be obtained.

💾 🟢 Backup: <Extra.backup-name>\n - Examined Files: <Data.ExaminedFiles>\n - Duration: <Data.Duration>\n - Status: *<Data.TestResults.ParsedResult>*

Environment Variables

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE	TYPE	DEFAULT	DESCRIPTION
URI_NOTIFICATION	required		URI in Apprise format where the notifications will be sent.
TEMPLATE_SUCCESS	opcional	💾 🟢 <Extra.backup-name>	Message template to be sent when the backup is successful.
