rsyslog/rsyslog

The general-purpose image builds on rsyslog-minimal and adds commonly used modules such as imhttp and omhttp. Use it when you need a ready-to-run rsyslog with HTTP ingestion or forwarding capabilities.

Environment Variables

The same entrypoint variables as the minimal image are available:

RSYSLOG_HOSTNAME

Hostname used inside rsyslog. Defaults to the value of /etc/hostname when unset.

PERMIT_UNCLEAN_START

Skip configuration validation when set. By default rsyslogd -N1 validates the configuration.

RSYSLOG_ROLE

Role name consumed by the entrypoint. Defaults to standard.
