About

This docker build file is created in order to build mmonit at version 4.3.1 using the patches from the mmonit cracks section.

Usage

Download the file Dockerfile to an empty directory, and place the patches inside a patches/ subfolder and then issue:

docker build -t TAG .

where:

TAG represents a tag to set on the built image (ie: mmonit:4.3.1)

After mmonit is built, a container can be created and ran either via docker run or deployed within the swarm with docker stack deploy.
