# User-Focused Images

Official images are built on Ubuntu LTS releases and install the latest rsyslog packages from the Adiscon daily-stable PPA. Images are tagged `rsyslog/rsyslog[-<function>]:<version>` where `<version>` follows the `YYYY-MM` rsyslog release.

Available variants include:

- rsyslog/rsyslog-minimal – rsyslog core only.

- rsyslog/rsyslog – standard image with common modules such as `imhttp` and `omhttp`.

- rsyslog/rsyslog-collector – adds modules for centralized log collection (`elasticsearch`, …).

- rsyslog/rsyslog-dockerlogs – includes `imdocker` to process logs from the Docker daemon.

- `rsyslog/rsyslog-debug` – planned variant with troubleshooting tools.

- rsyslog/rsyslog-minimal
- rsyslog/rsyslog
- rsyslog/rsyslog-collector
- rsyslog/rsyslog-dockerlogs

Images are built using the layered `Makefile` in `packaging/docker/rsyslog`:

    make all
    make standard
    make VERSION=2025-06 minimal

Configuration snippets in each directory and environment variables allow enabling or disabling functionality at runtime. Consult the packaging/docker README for the latest details and feedback instructions.
