Build the collectd image using docker 5 docker build -t collectd . 6 7 2. Run the container (since we have to run it to export it...) 8 COLLECTD_CONTAINER=`docker run -name collectd-tmp -d collectd` 9 10 3. Export then kill the container 11 docker export collectd-tmp > /tmp/collectd.tar 12 13 4. Kill the temporary container 14 docker kill $COLLECTD_CONTAINER 15 16 5. Unpack the tar archive 17 mkdir -p /tmp/collectd && tar -xvf /tmp/collectd.tar -C /tmp/collectd/ 18 19 6. Run collectd with systemd-nspawn - replace the COLLECTD_* env vars with your parameters! 20 sudo systemd-run --unit collectd systemd-nspawn -D /tmp/collectd /bin/bash -c "COLLECTD_GRAPHITE_HOSTNAME=172.31.13.241 COLLECTD_LOCAL_HOSTNAME=node1 /bin/collectd-wrapper"
