Running with Docker

The Pulse Agent is available as a container image through r.bigdataboutique.com/pulse-agent. To run as a daemon service, use the following command:

docker run -d --restart=always
    r.bigdataboutique.com/pulse-agent

The Pulse Agent expects a configuration file. Within the directory from which you plan to run Pulse, create a file called config.yml. Once you've finished editing the configuration, run the following command:

docker run -v `pwd`/config.yml:/etc/pulse-agent/config.yml --restart=always r.bigdataboutique.com/pulse-agent

This starts up the pulse agent and maps the file config.yml from the current running directory to the path /etc/pulse-agent/config.yml in the agent container.
