          <h2>What is Pi.Alert?</h2>

<blockquote><em>[Pi.Alert is a] WIFI / LAN intruder detector. Check the devices connected and alert you with unknown devices. It also warns of the disconnection of &quot;always connected&quot; devices. -<a href="https://github.com/pucherot/Pi.Alert/" target="_blank">https://github.com/pucherot/Pi.Alert/</a></em></blockquote>

	curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/$(awk -F&#39;=&#39; &#39;/^ID=/{ print $NF }&#39; /etc/os-release)/gpg | sudo apt-key add -<br />
	# add docker software repository<br />
	sudo add-apt-repository &quot;deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)] https://download.docker.com/linux/$(awk -F&#39;=&#39; &#39;/^ID=/{ print $NF }&#39; /etc/os-release) $(lsb_release -cs) stable&quot;<br />
	# install docker<br />
	sudo apt install docker-ce docker-compose containerd.io -y<br />
	# enable and start docker service<br />
	sudo systemctl enable docker &amp;&amp; sudo systemctl start docker<br />
	# add the current user to the docker group<br />
	sudo usermod -aG docker $USER<br />
	# reauthenticate for the new group membership to take effect<br />
	su - $USER</div>
	</li>
</ol>

<h2>Running the Pi.Alert Container</h2>

<ol>
	<li>Now that Docker is installed, run the following commands to setup the Pi.Alert Docker container and run it
	<div class="codeBlock"># create working directory<br />
	mkdir ~/docker/pialert -p<br />
	# set ownership on the working directories<br />
	sudo chown &quot;$USER&quot;:&quot;$USER&quot; ~/docker -R<br />
	# run temp pialert container<br />
	docker run -d --name=pialert --net=host -e TZ=America/New_York jokobsk/pi.alert<br />
	# copy default config files to host<br />
	docker cp pialert:/home/pi/pialert/config ~/docker/pialert/<br />
	# copy db to host<br />
	docker cp pialert:/home/pi/pialert/db ~/docker/pialert/<br />
	# remove the temp container<br />
	docker rm pialert --force<br />
	# run the pialert container<br />
	docker run -d --name=pialert --net=host -e TZ=America/New_York -v ~/docker/pialert/db:/home/pi/pialert/db -v ~/docker/pialert/config/:/home/pi/pialert/config/ --restart=unless-stopped jokobsk/pi.alert</div>
