pino-papertrail-runner

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.

Usage

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.
