Node StatsD docker image with AWS backend

Our docker image with preinstalled statsd (node) + AWS backend for statsd.

Uses our fork of the AWS backend for statsd, which allows us to use ENV vars instead of baking AWS credentials and region into the image (+ it has better logging).

Build & Use

• cp config.js.example config.js
• Build image with make build-local (dev) or make build (prod)
• make push to push the latest build to dockerhub
• Make sure the following env vars are present in the container:
  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
  • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
  • AWS_REGION
• Then you can use the image graphcool/graphcool-statsd-aws:latest

Local test setup

If you want to start the container locally and connect it to AWS, simply inject the env vars into the container, for example via a .dockerenv file that has key=value pairs: docker run -it --env-file=.dockerenv -p 8125:<mapping> graphcool/graphcool-statsd-aws:latest

If you just want a local statsd container without any AWS connection: make build-local and spin up that image.

Note that network=host doesn't work on OSX! You need to map the port.

Q & A

Q: Why the –no-cache on build? A: Docker caches the npm install of the git repo. To fetch the latest we need to disable caching, unfortunately. The build is still fairly fast, though.
