rizkybs70/syslog-flow repository overview

⁠syslog-flow Multi-Arch

Unofficial multi-architecture Docker image based on syslog-flow⁠.

This build adds optional HTTP Basic Authentication for the Web UI using environment variables, while keeping the original lightweight syslog collection and raw log storage design.

Supported platforms:

• linux/amd64
• linux/arm64

Docker automatically pulls the correct architecture for the host.

⁠Features

• Syslog collection over UDP and TCP
• Lightweight Web UI
• Raw log storage
• Search and filtering
• Persistent log storage
• Optional HTTP Basic Auth
• AMD64 and ARM64 support
• Single multi-arch latest image

⁠Quick Start

docker run -d \
  --name syslog-flow \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -p 5514:514/udp \
  -p 5514:514/tcp \
  -p 8081:2200/tcp \
  -e TZ=Asia/Jakarta \
  -e SYSLOG_FLOW_AUTH_ENABLED=true \
  -e SYSLOG_FLOW_USERNAME=admin \
  -e SYSLOG_FLOW_PASSWORD='ChangeThisPassword' \
  -v /opt/syslog-flow/logs:/logs \
  -v /opt/syslog-flow/config:/config \
  -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
  rizkybs70/syslog-flow:latest

Open the Web UI:

http://SERVER-IP:8081

⁠Ports

The example above maps them to:

5514/udp -> 514/udp
5514/tcp -> 514/tcp
8081/tcp -> 2200/tcp

⁠Authentication

This build adds optional HTTP Basic Authentication for the Web UI.

Enable authentication:

SYSLOG_FLOW_AUTH_ENABLED=true

Set credentials:

SYSLOG_FLOW_USERNAME=admin
SYSLOG_FLOW_PASSWORD=ChangeThisPassword

To disable authentication:

SYSLOG_FLOW_AUTH_ENABLED=false

When authentication is enabled, the Web UI and HTTP API require valid credentials.

Syslog ingestion over UDP and TCP is not affected.

⁠Persistent Storage

Logs:

/logs

Configuration:

/config

Recommended mounts:

-v /opt/syslog-flow/logs:/logs \
-v /opt/syslog-flow/config:/config
