AxoSyslog - a cloud-native distribution of syslog-ng by Axoflow

This repository contains the cloud-ready syslog-ng images created and maintained by Axoflow. Our images are different from the upstream syslog-ng images in a number of ways:

  • They are based on Alpine Linux, instead of Debian testing for reliability and smaller size (thus smaller attack surface).
  • They incorporate cloud-native features and settings (such as the Kubernetes source).
  • They incorporate container-level optimizations (like the use of an alternative malloc library) for better performance and improved security.
  • They support the ARM architecture.

Our images are available for the following architectures:

  • amd64
  • arm/v7
  • arm64
