Fluentd: Unified Logging Layer (project under CNCF)
Chainguard Containers are regularly-updated, secure-by-default container images.
For those with access, this container image is available on cgr.dev
:
Be sure to replace the ORGANIZATION
placeholder with the name used for your organization's private repository within the Chainguard Registry.
Run a Fluentd instance that will receive messages over TCP port 24224 through the Forward protocol, and send the messages to the STDOUT interface in JSON format
Create a config file at ./examples/basic_docker.conf
with the following content:
Run the fluentd container and mount the fluent.conf
In another terminal try sending some logs to fluentd with another container
The Fluentd container should receive the message and print it to stdout:
The -dev
variant contains a shell and tools like apk
to allow users to easily debug and modify the image. The -dev
variant uses the same entrypoint as the regular image so if you want to get a shell make sure to override the entrypoint like so.
Chainguard's free tier of Starter container images are built with Wolfi, our minimal Linux undistro.
All other Chainguard Containers are built with Chainguard OS, Chainguard's minimal Linux operating system designed to produce container images that meet the requirements of a more secure software supply chain.
The main features of Chainguard Containers include:
For cases where you need container images with shells and package managers to build or debug, most Chainguard Containers come paired with a development, or -dev
, variant.
In all other cases, including Chainguard Containers tagged as :latest
or with a specific version number, the container images include only an open-source application and its runtime dependencies. These minimal container images typically do not contain a shell or package manager.
Although the -dev
container image variants have similar security features as their more minimal versions, they include additional software that is typically not necessary in production environments. We recommend using multi-stage builds to copy artifacts from the -dev
variant into a more minimal production image.
To improve security, Chainguard Containers include only essential dependencies. Need more packages? Chainguard customers can use Custom Assembly to add packages, either through the Console, chainctl
, or API.
To use Custom Assembly in the Chainguard Console: navigate to the image you'd like to customize in your Organization's list of images, and click on the Customize image button at the top of the page.
