The detail of image tag

For current images#

edge#

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.
