Docker image for a random log generator, based on Alpine Linux.
This image will execute a container which will generate four random log messages:
2018-03-02T22:33:27-06:00 ERROR something happened in this execution.
2018-03-02T22:33:27-06:00 INFO takes the value and converts it to string.
2018-03-02T22:33:27-06:00 WARN variable not in use.
2018-03-02T22:33:27-06:00 DEBUG first loop completed.
I've had the necessity to create a random logger to test log configurations with containers, this helped me out to do it easily.
In this git repository you will find the docker image definitions for the random Logger for Alpine Linux
Dockerfile
-> Contains image definition.entrypoint.sh
-> Shell code to generate log messages.
To use this image you must do as follows:
# you can use tags latest
docker pull chentex/random-logger:latest
# use different intervals to print logs every random(100, 400) milliseconds
docker run chentex/random-logger:latest 100 400
# to run the image just execute
docker run -d chentex/random-logger:latest
You will have now a docker container running and generating log messages, locate it running:
docker ps
You can see the logs using this command
docker logs <- container-id ->
First things first, you can find these docker images in chentex/random-logger
but you can also build a specific version on your own, you only need:
- docker
- git
Clone this repo
git clone https://github.com/chentex/random-logger.git
Go to the folder in your terminal and type this:
# cd into folder
cd random-logger
# Then build the new image
docker build -f Dockerfile .
If you want to tag your image use the following command
docker build -f Dockerfile -t yourbase/yourname:version .
For more on docker build reference to the Documentation
You can get the source from the image in the Repository
