Images are built primarily for amd64 architecture, and may also include builds for arm/v7, arm64 and others. These variants are all unsupported. Consider sponsoring my work so that I can work with various hardware. To see if this image supports multiple architecures, type docker manifest (image):(tag)
Utilize this image as a base for further builds. Please visit the s6 overlay repository for instructions on how to enable the S6 init system when using this base or look at some of my other images which use this as a base.

This image supports autoregistering configuration as an Active Agent to a Zabbix Proxy or a Server. It looks in /etc/zabbix_agent.conf.d/*.conf for the string # Autoregister= and takes these values and adds it to the HostMetadata configuration entry automatically wrapped around : eg :application: . Use it by creating an Auto register rule and search for that string. You can find server templates in this repository in the [zabbix_templates](zabbix_templates/) directory.
This is work in progress for a larger logging solution. Presently there is functionality to rotate logs on a daily basis, however as this section matures there will be the capability to also ship the logs to an external data warehouse like Loki, or Elastic Search. At present Log shipping is only supported by fluent-bit and x86_64 only.
| Parameter | Description | Default |

You can set an environment variable to start shipping a log without any other configuration. Create a variable starting with LOGSHIP_<name> with the value of the location of the log files. You can also use this to null an existing configuration by setting the value of FALSE.
Example: LOGSHIP_NGINX=/var/log/nginx/*.log will create and tag all log files from that directory as to be coming from CONTAINER_NAME and from nginx. Note, it does not allow for custom parsing, so will simply parse the log entry as is.
If LOGSHIPPING_AUTO_CONFIG_LOGROTATE set to true, you can define what parser the configuration file should use. Make sure you have the appropriate .conf parsers in /etc/fluent-bit/parsers.d/
Create a line in the logrotate.d/<file> that looks like # logship: <parser>. Multiple parsers can be added by seperating via commas. Alternatively, if you wanted to skip a certain logfile from being parsed by the log shipper, use the value "SKIP".
| Parameter | Description | Default |

Drop files in /etc/fluent-bit/conf.d to setup your inputs and outputs. The environment variables below only affect the system end of the configuration. If you wish to use your own system configuration without these variables, change FLUENTBIT_SETUP_TYPE to MANUAL.

Included when proper capabilities are set on image is the capability to set up detailed block / allow rules via a firewall on container start. Presently only iptables is supported.
You must use run your containers with the following capabilities added: NET_ADMIN, NET_RAW
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
CONTAINER_ENABLE_FIREWALL |
Enable Firewall Functionality | FALSE |
CONTAINER_FIREWALL_BACKEND |
What Firewall backend to use iptables |
iptables |
FIREWALL_RULE_00 |

One can use the FIREWALL_RULE_XX environment variables to pass rules to the firewall. In this example I am going to block someone from being able to access a port except if from a specific IP address:
FIREWALL_RULE_00=-I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s 101.69.69.101 --dport 389 -j ACCEPT
FIREWALL_RULE_01=-I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 --dport 389 -j DROPSometimes you may need to do some host file trickery. This will add an entry to the contains hosts file.
Instead of relying on environment variables one can put a iptables-restore compatible ruleset below and it will be imported on container start.
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
CONTAINER_HOST_OVERRIDE_01 |
Create manual hosts entry |
Make the value <destination> override1 override2 eg 1.2.3.4 example.org example.com. If you omit an IP Address and instead use a domain name it will attempt to look it up to an IP eg proxy example.com example.org
Instead of relying on environment variables one can put a iptables-restore compatible ruleset below and it will be imported on container start.
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
IPTABLES_RULES_PATH |

IPTABLES_RULES_FILE |
IPTables Rules File to restore if exists on container start | iptables.rules |
The container also has the capability should CONTAINER_ENABLE_FIREWALL=TRUE be enabled to launch Fail2ban, a process which watches logs for patterns and then blocks the remote host from connecting for a period of time.
Drop your custom jail configs as *.conf files in /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/ and filters in /etc/fail2ban/filter.d for them to be parsed at startup. Note the startup delay environment variable to avoid the process failing if no log files exist from a fresh install.

If you wish to change the internal id for users and groups you can set environment variables to do so.
e.g. If you add USER_NGINX=1000 it will reset the containers nginx user id from 82 to 1000 -
If you enable DEBUG_PERMISSIONS=TRUE all the users and groups have been modified in accordance with
environment variables will be displayed in output.
Hint, also change the Group ID to your local development users UID & GID and avoid Docker permission issues when developing.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
CONTAINER_USER_<USERNAME> |
The user's UID in /etc/passwd will be modified with new UID |
CONTAINER_GROUP_<GROUPNAME> |

This is experimental functionality to call an external script before a process is executed.
Sample use cases:
- Alert slack channel when process has executed more than once
- Disable process from executing further if restarted 50 times
- Write to an additional log file..
- Change a file to display "Under Maintenance" on a webserver if this process isn't supposed to be run more than 1 time.
It will pass 5 arguments to a bash script titled the same name as the executing script or if not found, use the default CONTAINER_PROCESS_HELPER_SCRIPT below. Drop your files into the CONTAINER_PROCESS_HELPER_PATH.
For example, if 04-scheduling was starting, it would look for $CONTAINER_PROCESS_HELPER_PATH/04-scheduling and if found execute it while passing the following arguments: DATE,TIME,SCRIPT_NAME,TIMES EXECUTED,HOSTNAME
e.g: 2021-07-01 23:01:04 04-scheduling 2 container
Use the values in your own bash script using the $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 syntax.
Change time and date and settings with these environment variables

This base image has been used over a hundred times to successfully build secondary images. My methodology is admittedly straying from the "one process per container" rule, however this methodology allows me to put together images at a rapid pace, and if more complex scalability is required, the work is split into their own individual images. Since you are reading this here's a crash course at how the image works: (WIP):
See /assets/functions/00-container for more detailed documentation for the various commands and functions/shortcuts
-
Put defaults in
/assets/defaults/(script name) -
Put functions in
/assets/functions/(script name) -
Put Initialization script in

liftoff # Prove script was able to execute properly
print_start "Starting processname" # Show STARTING log prefix, and also show if enabled a counter, and execute process watchdog script
fakeprocess (args) # whatever your process you want to start is| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
CONTAINER_SKIP_SANITY_CHECK |
Skip the checking to see if all scripts in /etc/cont-init.d executed correctly | FALSE |
DEBUG_MODE |
Show all script output (set -x) | FALSE |
PROCESS_NAME |
Used for prefixing the script that is running | container |
When using this as a base image, create statements in your startup scripts to check for existence of DEBUG_MODE=TRUE
and set various parameters in your applications to output more detail, enable debugging modes, and so on.
In this base image it does the following:
- Sets zabbix-agent to output logs in verbosity
- Shows all script output (equivalent to set -x)
For debugging and maintenance purposes you may want access the containers shell.
bash docker exec -it (whatever your container name is) bash
These images were built to serve a specific need in a production environment and gradually have had more functionality added based on requests from the community.
