NET-SNMP Daemon

master
alpine

This is polinux/snmpd docker image with snmpd daemon running in foreground and based on offcial CentOS-7 and offers ability to provide any argument to snmpd process.

For super small image use tag alpine

This container is built that any extra parameters provided to docker run will be passed directly to snmpd command. For example, if you run docker run [options] polinux/snmpd -c FILE you pass -c FILE to snmpd daemon.
