docker-zipkin-gcp

This repository contains the Docker build definition and release process for openzipkin/zipkin-gcp.

This layers Google Cloud Platform support on the base zipkin docker image.

Currently, this adds Stackdriver Trace storage

Running

By default, this image will search for credentials in a json file at $GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS

If you want to try Zipkin against Stackdriver, the easiest start is to share your credentials with Zipkin's docker image.

$ docker run -d -p 9411:9411 \
  -e STORAGE_TYPE=stackdriver \
  -e GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/root/.gcp/credentials.json \
  -e STACKDRIVER_PROJECT_ID=your_project \
  -v $HOME/.gcp:/root/.gcp:ro \
  openzipkin/zipkin-gcp
