Alpine support?

[dirkmoors]

Hello,

I would like to try circonus in my IoT project, but I'm running my apps in a docker-alpine environment. This doesn't seem to be supported atm? Could you help me get this running in such an environment?

Thank you in advance

Are you trying to collect metrics from an app in a container, from docker about the containers, or are you trying to run cosi inside of a container?

I'm trying to run cosi during a build process of a Docker image, in order to integrate it into our IoT app builds (running on Raspberry Pi).

Ideally, I compile COSI from source during the build process, and run it with environment variables during operation.

The agent cosi installs would typically run on the host and pull container metrics directly from docker for all of the containers. As well as, being able to pull app specific metrics from the app in each container if it exposes metrics on a port (e.g. an HTTP endpoint) and the container is exposing the port. (rather than running cosi in each container in addition to an app - unless i've misunderstood you.)

But, there is another issue as well, our agent is currently not built for ARM processors. I will look into adding an ARM build for the upcoming replacement agent. I have a pi here on which I can test that is running Raspbian v8.
