The socklog-overlay is an add-on for the s6-overlay - it provides a small syslog replacement based on Gerrit Pape's socklog.

# Install socklog-overlay
ADD https://github.com/just-containers/socklog-overlay/releases/download/v2.2.1-2/socklog-overlay-amd64.tar.gz /tmp/
RUN tar xzf /tmp/socklog-overlay-amd64.tar.gz -C /
