Hello!
I was testing Fluent Bit earlier this week, and struggled with getting the new YAML configuration file to work with Docker.
Just mounting the volume doesn't work, the default
fluent-bit.confin the image takes precedence over the YAML file, which took me a while to troubleshoot.For example:
Running
docker run -ti -v ./fluent-bit.yaml:/fluent-bit/etc/fluent-bit.yaml cr.fluentbit.io/fluent/fluent-bitdoes not load the YAML file.Mounting the .conf file works though.
Maybe this will help those who tried the same thing as I did.
Let me know if you think anything needs changing or if you believe there is a better way to do this. Thanks!
