Serilog with Docker

A docker image for testing Serilog on Docker platforms. It also includes a number of sample apps.

PreReqs

• Docker

Building the Serilog Library

• Clone this repo.
• Run docker-compose build to:
  • pull the images
  • build a docker image
• Run docker-compose up to:
  • pull the Serilog repo,
  • build and test the lastest dev branch code from https://github.com/serilog/serilog.
• To enter the container with out using compose, use docker run -it --entrypoint=/bin/bash serilog

Run the Samples

This repo also contains the following samples:

• Console App
• Web App
• FSharp Web App

To run these, run docker-compose -f samples.yml up --build

This will

• Build & run the sample docker images.

• The console app periodically does a HTTP GET to the

  • C# Kestrel Sample
  • F# Kestrel Sample

• The console app also logs to the Console, Seq and Splunk sinks.

• The web apps are also configured to use Serilog via Microsoft.Extensions.Logging & Serilog.Extensions.Logging.

• Seq Host - http://localhost:80

• Splunk Host - http://localhost:8000

Windows Containers samples

PreReqs

• Windows Server 2016 (evaluate)
• Enable containers feature. See MSDN documentation for more details.
• Docker tools

Quick setup

# Add the containers feature and restart
Install-WindowsFeature containers
Restart-Computer -Force

# Download, install Docker Engine, Docker Compose
Invoke-WebRequest "https://download.docker.com/components/engine/windows-server/cs-1.12/docker.zip" -OutFile "$env:TEMP\docker.zip" -UseBasicParsing
Expand-Archive -Path "$env:TEMP\docker.zip" -DestinationPath $env:ProgramFiles

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://dl.bintray.com/docker-compose/master/docker-compose-Windows-x86_64.exe -OutFile $env:ProgramFiles\Docker\docker-compose.exe -UseBasicParsing

# set PATH
$env:Path += ";c:\program files\docker"
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", $env:Path + ";C:\Program Files\Docker", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)

# Configure Docker daemon to listen on both pipe and TCP
dockerd.exe -H npipe:////./pipe/docker_engine -H 0.0.0.0:2375 --register-service

# Start Docker daemon
Start-Service docker

Run the Samples

This repo contains the following windows samples

• Seq Event Server, based on Windows Server 2016 Server Core image
• Web App, based on Windows Server 2016 Nano Server image

To run these, run docker-compose -f samples-windows.yml up

Containers use nat network. To inspect what IPs they got run docker network inspect nat in the separate cmd shell and find your containers:
