⁠Fluent Bit Docker Image

Fluent Bit⁠ Docker image based on Debian base image from Google.

⁠1. Build image

Use docker build command to build the image. This example names the image "fluent-bit:latest":

docker build -t fluent-bit:0.11 ./

⁠2. Test it

Once the image is built, it's ready to run:

docker -p 127.0.0.0.1:24224:24224 run fluent-bit:latest

By default, the configuration set a listener on TCP port 24224 through Forward protocol and prints to the standard output interface each message. So this can be used to forward Docker log messages from one container to the Fluent Bit image, e.g:

$ docker run --log-driver=fluentd -t ubuntu echo "Testing a log message"

On Fluent Bit container will print to stdout something like this:

Fluent-Bit v0.11.1
