Fluenbit w/ Docker Client

This docker image is based off of the official Fluentbit 1.9 Docker image. It adds a couple of small extras such as the docker client.

This allows us to use run e.g. docker inspect commands with the exec input in fluentbit.

This also installs the following useful packages:

• curl
• netcat
• jq
• miller

Example

docker run -it -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock geocodio/fluentbit-docker-client

Note: The docker socket needs to be attached as a volume in order for the client to be able access the docker daemon on the host. Make sure that you understand the security implications of this.
