Installation

Prebuilt Images

Feature limited builds of the image are available on the Github Container Registry and Docker Hub.

To unlock advanced features, one must provide a code to be able to change specific environment variables from defaults. Support the development to gain access to a code.

To get access to the image use your container orchestrator to pull from the following locations:

ghcr.io/nfrastack/container-loki:(image_tag)
docker.io/nfrastack/loki:(image_tag)

Image tag syntax is:

<image>:<optional tag>-<optional_distribution>_<optional_distribution_variant>

Example:

ghcr.io/nfrastack/container-loki:latest or

ghcr.io/nfrastack/container-loki:1.0 or optionally

ghcr.io/nfrastack/container-loki:1.0-alpine or optinally

ghcr.io/nfrastack/container-loki:alpine

• latest will be the most recent commit
• An optional tag may exist that matches the CHANGELOG - These are the safest
• If it is built for multiple distributions there may exist a value of alpine or debian
• If there are multiple distribution variations it may include a version - see the registry for availability

Have a look at the container registries and see what tags are available.

Multi-Architecture Support

Images are built for amd64 by default, with optional support for arm64 and other architectures.
