did you know that you did a big fail probally in your base img with using rsyslogd=?

You got already s6 so ! http://skarnet.org/software/s6/s6-log.html

read up The s6-log program

s6-log is a reliable logging program with automated log rotation, similar to daemontools' multilog, with full POSIX regular expression support.

it can replace syslogd

That's something I've been working on, just haven't had a lot of time for it.

I don't think it's really fair to call it a "big fail" though. The main reason I'm using rsyslog is for remote log forwarding. I have another container running Logstash, and I use rsyslog to send logs directly to logstash in real-time.

I do like the look for s6-log, since I don't have to screw around with logrotate, making sure I send the right signals to processes, etc. My main stumbling block is figuring out how to get those logs into Logstash (or another syslog server).
