Why use Bitnami Images?

  • Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
  • With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
  • Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
  • All our images are based on minideb -a minimalist Debian based container image that gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading Linux distribution- or scratch -an explicitly empty image-.
  • All Bitnami images available in Docker Hub are signed with Notation. Check this post to know how to verify the integrity of the images.
  • Bitnami container images are released on a regular basis with the latest distribution packages available.

Why use a non-root container?

Non-root container images add an extra layer of security and are generally recommended for production environments. However, because they run as a non-root user, privileged tasks are typically off-limits. Learn more about non-root containers in our docs.

Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links

Learn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags in our documentation page.

You can see the equivalence between the different tags by taking a look at the tags-info.yaml file present in the branch folder, i.e bitnami/ASSET/BRANCH/DISTRO/tags-info.yaml.

Get this image

The recommended way to get the Bitnami Cassandra Exporter Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry.

docker pull REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/cassandra-exporter:latest

To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the list of available versions in the Docker Hub Registry.

docker pull REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/cassandra-exporter:[TAG]

If you wish, you can also build the image yourself by cloning the repository, changing to the directory containing the Dockerfile and executing the docker build command. Remember to replace the APP, VERSION and OPERATING-SYSTEM path placeholders in the example command below with the correct values.

git clone https://github.com/bitnami/containers.git
cd bitnami/APP/VERSION/OPERATING-SYSTEM
docker build -t REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/APP:latest .

Connecting to other containers

Using Docker container networking, a different server running inside a container can easily be accessed by your application containers and vice-versa.

Containers attached to the same network can communicate with each other using the container name as the hostname.

Using the Command Line

Step 1: Create a network

docker network create cassandra-exporter-network --driver bridge

Step 2: Launch the cassandra-exporter container within your network

Use the --network <NETWORK> argument to the docker run command to attach the container to the cassandra-exporter-network network.

docker run --name cassandra-exporter-node1 --network cassandra-exporter-network REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/cassandra-exporter:latest

Step 3: Run another containers

We can launch another containers using the same flag (--network NETWORK) in the docker run command. If you also set a name to your container, you will be able to use it as hostname in your network.

Configuration

Find all the configuration options in the Cassandra Prometheus Exporter documentation.

Logging

The Bitnami Cassandra Exporter Docker image sends the container logs to stdout. To view the logs:

docker logs cassandra-exporter

You can configure the containers logging driver using the --log-driver option if you wish to consume the container logs differently. In the default configuration docker uses the json-file driver.

Maintenance

Upgrade this image

Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of Cassandra Exporter, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container.

Step 1: Get the updated image

docker pull REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/cassandra-exporter:latest

Step 2: Stop the running container

Stop the currently running container using the command

docker stop cassandra-exporter

Step 3: Remove the currently running container

docker rm -v cassandra-exporter

Step 4: Run the new image

Re-create your container from the new image.

docker run --name cassandra-exporter REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/cassandra-exporter:latest
