Rsyslog Containers

Rsyslog runs well inside containers and the project provides official Docker images for common logging scenarios. Dockerfiles and build recipes live under packaging/docker.

Since version 8.32.0 rsyslog also adjusts a few defaults when it detects that it is running as PID 1 inside a container: Ctrl-C is handled and no pid file is written.
