I am using a rails application now. In my application config file, I added this:

config/application.rb

logger = Fluent::Logger::FluentLogger.new(nil, host: '127.0.0.1', port: '24224')

Then boot app in docker, saw these error logs:

$ docker-compose up

...

My docker machine's ip:

$ docker-machine ip myapp
=> 192.168.99.100

My docker ps:

$ docker ps

Why failed to connect fluentd about sidekiq and web images?

Edit

Add this to Dockerfile:

RUN mkdir -p /fluentd/etc

Add this to docker-compose.yml:

fluentd:
  image: fluent/fluentd:latest
  ports:
    - "24224:24224"

When boot app, log shows:

It seems that ip 127.0.0.1 doesn't right. I am using a docker-machine now.

Make sure your docker-compose.yml has a fluentd section (as this one), with at least the port 24224 exposed (you don't have top map it unless you want to access it directly from the host)

Original answer (2015)

Then your rail docker-compose.yml sidekiq section should have a link section:

links:
  - fluentd

Updated answer (2021, after battlecook's comment) Since links is obsolete, use depends_on

depends_on:
  - fluentd

See "Difference between links and depends_on in docker_compose.yml".
Example: "How to use Dockerfile to link main container to a db container?".

  • Thank you for your good answer. I have did that follow your advise. But when I boot my app, it shows: `No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /fluentd/etc/fluent.conf (Errno::ENOENT)`. – scho Nov 09 '15 at 08:14
  • @scho that looks like a volume which has not been mounted (http://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/#volumes-from) – VonC Nov 09 '15 at 08:21
  • @scho by the way, are you using https://github.com/GoCarrot/fluent-plugin-sidekiq? – VonC Nov 09 '15 at 08:21
  • I am not using `fluent-plugin-sidekiq` now. – scho Nov 09 '15 at 08:28
  • I updated my topic. Maybe the problem is IP address. – scho Nov 09 '15 at 10:03
  • @scho What OS are you using? – VonC Nov 09 '15 at 10:03
  • @scho didyou port-forwarded the port of your VM (in addition of mapping the container port to the VM host)? (http://stackoverflow.com/a/32175164/6309). – VonC Nov 09 '15 at 10:08
  • I will try to do it. Thank you:) – scho Nov 09 '15 at 10:20
  • I will leave a comment for those who will see the current question. Since the "link" keyword is deprecated, I hope you use the "depends_on" keyword. I referred to the following question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35832095/difference-between-links-and-depends-on-in-docker-compose-yml – battlecook Mar 16 '21 at 09:28
  • @battlecook Thank you. I have updated the answer accordingly. – VonC Mar 16 '21 at 10:57
