Utility for running a node-project in a docker container and logging with pino to papertrail.
Uses the technique from https://github.com/mattiash/docker-pino-sample to make sure that the exit codes are passed correctly.
In your Dockerfile, do the following:
FROM node
RUN npm install -g pino-papertrail-runner
...
CMD ["pino-papertrail-runner"]
For this to work:
- The last WORKDIR command before CMD must be the root of your node project
- Your package.json must have a "start" script that runs your project
- You must pass in the environment variables PAPERTRAIL_HOST and PAPERTRAIL_PORT to specify the log target
The "appname" for your logs will be set to the name-property in your package.json.
To set the hostname for your papertrail logs,
pass a --hostname parameter to docker run.
