What is Pi.Alert?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[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 "always connected" devices. - https://github.com/pucherot/Pi.Alert/

Installing Docker
--------------------------------------------------------------------
   01. Log into the Linux based device
   02. Run the following commands in the terminal
         # install prerequisites
         sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common gnupg-agent -y
         # add docker gpg key
         curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/$(awk -F'=' '/^ID=/{ print $NF }' /etc/os-release)/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
         # add docker software repository
         sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)] https://download.docker.com/linux/$(awk -F'=' '/^ID=/{ print $NF }' /etc/os-release) $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
         # install docker
         sudo apt install docker-ce docker-compose containerd.io -y
         # enable and start docker service
         sudo systemctl enable docker && sudo systemctl start docker
         # add the current user to the docker group
         sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
         # reauthenticate for the new group membership to take effect
         su - $USER

Running the Pi.Alert Container
--------------------------------------------------------------------
   01. Now that Docker is installed, run the following commands to setup the Pi.Alert Docker container and run it
         # create working directory
         mkdir ~/docker/pialert -p
         # set ownership on the working directories
         sudo chown "$USER":"$USER" ~/docker -R
         # run temp pialert container
         docker run -d --name=pialert --net=host -e TZ=America/New_York jokobsk/pi.alert
         # copy default config files to host
         docker cp pialert:/home/pi/pialert/config ~/docker/pialert/
         # copy db to host
         docker cp pialert:/home/pi/pialert/db ~/docker/pialert/
         # remove the temp container
         docker rm pialert --force
         # run the pialert container
         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
   02. Open a web browser and navigate to http://DNSorIP:20211/pialert
