The compose file defines a stack with the service netdata and available at port 19999 by default. More information around installation options and configuration via Docker can be found in the Netdata docs here. Make sure the port 19999 on the host is not already in use.

Deploy with docker compose

$ docker compose up -d
[+] Running 8/8
 ⠿ netdata Pulled
[+] Running 5/5
 ⠿ Network tmp_default         Created
 ⠿ Volume "tmp_netdatalib"     Created
 ⠿ Volume "tmp_netdatacache"   Created
 ⠿ Volume "tmp_netdataconfig"  Created
 ⠿ Container netdata           Started

Expected result

Listing containers must show two containers running and the port mapping as below:

$ docker ps
NAME                COMMAND              SERVICE             STATUS              PORTS
netdata             "/usr/sbin/run.sh"   netdata             running (healthy)   0.0.0.0:19999->19999/tcp

Navigate to http://localhost:19999 in your web browser to access the local Netdata dashboard or run:

$ curl localhost:19999/api/v1/allmetrics
# chart: system.idlejitter (name: system.idlejitter)
NETDATA_SYSTEM_IDLEJITTER_MIN="73"      # microseconds lost/s
NETDATA_SYSTEM_IDLEJITTER_MAX="231"      # microseconds lost/s
NETDATA_SYSTEM_IDLEJITTER_AVERAGE="109"      # microseconds lost/s
NETDATA_SYSTEM_IDLEJITTER_VISIBLETOTAL="413"      # microseconds lost/s
...

Stop and remove the containers. Use -v to remove the volumes if looking to erase all data.

$ docker compose down -v
