changedetection.io

changedetection.io monitors web pages for content, visual, or JSON changes and can notify you via dozens of services when something changes, officially distributed as a Docker image.

Target: Any Docker hostMonitoringOfficial homepage ↗Official docs ↗
This guide is synthesized from changedetection.io's own official documentation, linked above — always cross-check exact package/version names there before running these commands on a production server, since distro and project versions move over time.

  1. 1Run the container

    docker run -d --restart always -p "127.0.0.1:5000:5000" -v datastore-volume:/datastore --name changedetection.io dgtlmoon/changedetection.io

    An alternate registry is available at ghcr.io/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io. Use the :dev tag for the bleeding-edge branch.

  2. 2Docker Compose alternative

    Clone the repository, which ships a ready-to-use docker-compose.yml, and bring the stack up with one command.

    git clone https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io.git
    cd changedetection.io
    docker compose up -d

  3. 3First use

    Open the web UI and add your first watch by pasting a URL.

    Default access: http://127.0.0.1:5000
