Docker example - Boilerplate #204

Closed gabrielhesposito closed 6 years ago

gabrielhesposito commented 7 years ago

My hope is that this image can be throughly documented so remote_syslog2 (rs2) can have a docker image for contributors to build on. tested user 1 rs2 0:00 remote_syslog -D tested output 2017-07-19 23:52:07 INFO remote_syslog.go:55 Connecting to logs.papertrailapp.com:514 over tls build instructions docker build --build-arg VERSION=v0.19 -t rs2 . run (in background, docker ps to confirm) docker run --name rs2 -d rs2 TODO: Documentation This baseplate should have documentation that only corresponds to the docker CLI, very basic starting/stop/removing containers, confirming that logs send correctly + simple exampling, passing ENV variables to container to manipulate remote_syslog2 cli

Should I create documentation in this PR, or create a new fork ?

Hi @gabrielhesposito,

Thanks for the example! Documentation in this PR would be fine, no need for another one. Can you outline your motivations for this, and how you envision it being used?

gabrielhesposito commented 7 years ago

So my motivation for the Dockerfile meaning... a proper use-case for remote_syslog2+docker, why and when it should be shipped with docker- maybe a docker network command to help troubleshoot connection issues...ok ill add documentation into the root README.md on this PR

@snorecone too many commits in this PR...besides that I am happy with the example and the documentation
