Why use Bitnami Images?
- Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
- With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
- Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
- All our images are based on minideb a minimalist Debian based container image which gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading Linux distribution.
- All Bitnami images available in Docker Hub are signed with Docker Content Trust (DCT). You can use
DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1to verify the integrity of the images. - Bitnami container images are released daily with the latest distribution packages available.
Why use a non-root container?
Non-root container images add an extra layer of security and are generally recommended for production environments. However, because they run as a non-root user, privileged tasks are typically off-limits. Learn more about non-root containers in our docs.
Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links

Get this image
The recommended way to get the Bitnami Blackbox Exporter Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry.
$ docker pull bitnami/blackbox-exporter:latest
To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the list of available versions in the Docker Hub Registry.
$ docker pull bitnami/blackbox-exporter:[TAG]
If you wish, you can also build the image yourself.
$ docker build -t bitnami/blackbox-exporter:latest 'https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-blackbox-exporter.git#master:0/debian-10'
Connecting to other containers
Using Docker container networking, a different server running inside a container can easily be accessed by your application containers and vice-versa.
Containers attached to the same network can communicate with each other using the container name as the hostname.
Using the Command Line
Step 1: Create a network
$ docker network create blackbox-exporter-network --driver bridge
Step 2: Launch the Blackbox_exporter container within your network
Use the --network <NETWORK> argument to the docker run command to attach the container to the blackbox-exporter-network network.
$ docker run --name blackbox-exporter-node1 --network blackbox-exporter-network bitnami/blackbox-exporter:latest
Step 3: Run another containers
We can launch another containers using the same flag (--network NETWORK) in the docker run command. If you also set a name to your container, you will be able to use it as hostname in your network.
Configuration
Blackbox exporter is configured via a configuration file and command-line flags (such as what configuration file to load, what port to listen on, and the logging format and level).
The default location for the config file is /opt/bitnami/blackbox-exporter/conf/config.yml, you can mount a volume there in order to overwrite it.
The file is written in YAML format, defined by the scheme described below. Brackets indicate that a parameter is optional. For non-list parameters the value is set to the specified default.
Generic placeholders are defined as follows:
<boolean>: a boolean that can take the values true or false
<int>: a regular integer
<duration>: a duration matching the regular expression [0-9]+(ms|[smhdwy])
<filename>: a valid path in the current working directory
<string>: a regular string
<secret>: a regular string that is a secret, such as a password
<regex>: a regular expression
The other placeholders are specified separately.
Example config:
scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'blackbox'
metrics_path: /probe
params:
module: [http_2xx] # Look for a HTTP 200 response.
static_configs:
- targets:
- http://prometheus.io # Target to probe with http.
- https://prometheus.io # Target to probe with https.
- http://example.com:8080 # Target to probe with http on port 8080.
relabel_configs:
- source_labels: [__address__]
target_label: __param_target
- source_labels: [__param_target]
target_label: instance
- target_label: __address__
replacement: 127.0.0.1:9115 # The blackbox exporter's real hostname:port.
Logging
The Bitnami blackbox-exporter Docker image sends the container logs to the stdout. To view the logs:
$ docker logs blackbox-exporter
You can configure the containers logging driver using the --log-driver option if you wish to consume the container logs differently. In the default configuration docker uses the json-file driver.
Maintenance
Upgrade this image
Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of blackbox-exporter, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container.
Step 1: Get the updated image
$ docker pull bitnami/blackbox-exporter:latest
Step 2: Stop and backup the currently running container
Stop the currently running container using the command
$ docker stop blackbox-exporter
Next, take a snapshot of the persistent volume /path/to/blackbox-exporter-persistence using:
$ rsync -a /path/to/blackbox-exporter-persistence /path/to/blackbox-exporter-persistence.bkp.$(date +%Y%m%d-%H.%M.%S)
You can use this snapshot to restore the database state should the upgrade fail.
Step 3: Remove the currently running container
$ docker rm -v blackbox-exporter
Step 4: Run the new image
Re-create your container from the new image, restoring your backup if necessary.
$ docker run --name blackbox-exporter bitnami/blackbox-exporter:latest

New versions and releases cadence are not going to be affected. Once a new version is released in the upstream project, the Bitnami container image will be updated to use the latest version, supporting the different branches supported by the upstream project as usual.
