Using redirection.io with Docker

It is quite common to use Docker in development or production environments.

As this has been requested by several of our users, we have set up a short example of a Docker stack using the redirection.io agent and the nginx module.

This sample project can be found on our Github account: https://github.com/redirectionio/docker-example

Usage¶

• clone the repository

  git clone https://github.com/redirectionio/docker-example.git
  cd docker-example
  

• create an account and a project on redirection.io, retrieve your project key in redirection.io's manager and copy it in the nginx configuration file

  redirectionio_project_key PUT HERE YOUR PROJECT KEY;
  

• build the infrastructure:

  docker-compose build
  

• run it:

  docker-compose up -d
  

Kubernetes example¶

For Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) users, we provide an example GKE project that may be helpful to get redirection.io work in your context: https://github.com/redirectionio/kubernetes-example/

Basically, it uses images built using the above docker example, for the redirectionio-agent and for nginx with the redirection.io module enabled.

Of course, you'll have to do some changes for your own context, but this might be helpful in case of troubles.
