debian included tag

The image based on [Debian Linux image][7]. You may use this image when you require plugins which cannot be installed on Alpine (like fluent-plugin-systemd).

armhf included tag

The armhf images use ARM base images for use on devices such as Raspberry Pis.

Furthermore, the base images enable support for cross-platform builds using the cross-build tools from resin.io.

In order to build these images natively on ARM devices, the CROSS_BUILD_START and CROSS_BUILD_END Docker build arguments must be set to the shell no-op (:), for example:

docker build --build-arg CROSS_BUILD_START=":" --build-arg CROSS_BUILD_END=":" -t fluent/fluentd:v1.3-onbuild-1 v1.3/armhf/alpine-onbuild

(assuming the command is run from the root of this repository).

For older images

These images/tags are kept for backward compatibility. No update anymore and don't use for new deployment. Use "current images" instead.

stable, latest

These tags are obsolete, already removed to avoid confusing. Use edge, vX.Y-A or vX.Y.Z-A.B images instead.

vX.Y

Latest version of vX.Y Fluentd branch.

vX.Y.Z

Concrete vX.Y.Z version of Fluentd.

onbuild included tag

onbuild images are deprecated. Use non-onbuild images instead to build your image. New images, v1.5 or later, don't provide onbuild version.

debian included tag, armhf included tag

Same as current images.
