# rsyslog/rsyslog

The general-purpose image builds on `rsyslog-minimal` and adds commonly used modules such as `imhttp` and `omhttp`. Use it when you need a ready-to-run rsyslog with HTTP ingestion or forwarding capabilities.

## Environment Variables

The same entrypoint variables as the minimal image are available:

RSYSLOG_HOSTNAME

  Hostname used inside rsyslog. Defaults to the value of `/etc/hostname` when unset.

PERMIT_UNCLEAN_START

  Skip configuration validation when set. By default `rsyslogd -N1` validates the configuration.

RSYSLOG_ROLE

  Role name consumed by the entrypoint. Defaults to `standard`.
