Docker RSyslog (https://github.com/gynter/docker-rsyslog)

A generic Docker image for RSyslog. This image is designed to run securely on non-systemd (i.e Alpine) containers as unprivileged user (UID/GID 1000).

See https://github.com/gynter/rsyslog-docker-compose-example for deployment example using Docker Compose.

Important files and directories

• /etc/rsyslog.conf - Main rsyslogd configuration file, can be overwritten by a bind mount;
• /etc/rsyslog.d/ - Extra rsyslogd configuration files, can be mounted as a volume. Files must have *.conf extension to be loaded by rsyslogd;
• /srv/rsyslog/ - rsyslogd working directory, PID file will be also created there. It's recommended to mount this directory as a volume if there's a need to persist working files (i.e when using queue files to store data on file system);
• /logs/ - A directory for storing log files. Should be mounted as a volume.
