docker-beats (WIP)

Work in progress: This repository is worthless for anybody but me just now.

Build and save beats for arm

On an x86 machine follow https://github.com/sejnub/docker-build-beats
Copy the executable to the folder ~/beats4pi on the raspi

Build images

TODO

Do it my way as it is described in this rep before 2018-11. Then the following is to be done * Remove installation of commodity software from Dockerfile * Create mechanism to run the image with a specified configuration * Switch to a smaller base image like e.g. alpine (look at hypriot)

Build image

## set up the source folder ~/docker-beats-1-sources

### prepare empty folder ~/docker-beats-1-sources
cd ~
rm -rf ~/docker-beats-1-sources
mkdir  ~/docker-beats-1-sources  

### load foreign external sources into ~/docker-beats-1-sources

#### clone the git rep that contains config file templates
cd ~/docker-beats-1-sources; 
git clone https://github.com/elastic/beats.git



##########################################################################################################
### load my own external sources into ~/docker-beats-1-sources (repeat from here on if I edited my source)

#### clone my own rep (Dockerfile etc.)
cd ~/docker-beats-1-sources; 
rm -rf ~/docker-beats-1-sources/docker-beats
git clone https://github.com/sejnub/docker-beats.git


## set up the build folder ~/docker-beats-2-build    

### prepare empty folder ~/docker-beats-2-build
cd ~
rm -rf ~/docker-beats-2-build 
mkdir ~/docker-beats-2-build

### copy my own sorces into build folder (this has to happen first because it creates the bin and the config folders)
cp -r ~/docker-beats-1-sources/docker-beats/* ~/docker-beats-2-build

### copy executables into build folder     
cp ~/beats4pi/metricbeat   ~/docker-beats-2-build/bin/metricbeat-linux-arm
cp ~/beats4pi/filebeat     ~/docker-beats-2-build/bin/filebeat-linux-arm
cp ~/beats4pi/heartbeat    ~/docker-beats-2-build/bin/heartbeat-linux-arm

### copy config templates into build folder
cp ~/docker-beats-1-sources/beats/metricbeat/metricbeat.yml           ~/docker-beats-2-build/config/
cp ~/docker-beats-1-sources/beats/metricbeat/metricbeat.reference.yml ~/docker-beats-2-build/config/
cp ~/docker-beats-1-sources/beats/heartbeat/heartbeat.yml             ~/docker-beats-2-build/config/
cp ~/docker-beats-1-sources/beats/heartbeat/heartbeat.reference.yml   ~/docker-beats-2-build/config/
cp ~/docker-beats-1-sources/beats/filebeat/filebeat.yml               ~/docker-beats-2-build/config/
cp ~/docker-beats-1-sources/beats/filebeat/filebeat.reference.yml     ~/docker-beats-2-build/config/


## build
cd ~/docker-beats-2-build; docker build -t sejnub/beats:rpi-latest .

Push the image

docker login
docker push sejnub/beats:rpi-latest

Run beats (WIP, not working by now)

Run an interactive bash

docker rm -f beats; docker run -it --name beats sejnub/beats:rpi-latest bash

Then inside the container run

metricbeat -path.config /etc/metricbeat 

nano /etc/metricbeat/metricbeat.hb.yml

Just for information. There is an X86 docker image which can be run with

sudo docker run -v /media/sf_shared-with-virtualbox/filebeat.hb1.yml:/filebeat.yml prima/filebeat:5
