bitnami/memcached-exporter repository overview

⁠Bitnami Secure Image for Memcached Exporter

Overview of Memcached Exporter⁠ Trademarks: This software listing is packaged by Bitnami. The respective trademarks mentioned in the offering are owned by the respective companies, and use of them does not imply any affiliation or endorsement.

⁠ TL;DR

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

⁠ 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.

⁠ Get this image

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

docker pull REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/memcached-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/memcached-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 memcached-exporter-network --driver bridge

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

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

docker run --name memcached-exporter-node1 --network memcached-exporter-network REGISTRY_NAME/bitnami/memcached-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 flags by executing the container with the --help flag:

docker run --rm bitnami/memcached-exporter --help

You can also find more information in the Memcached Exporter official documentation⁠.

⁠ Logging

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

docker logs memcached-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.

⁠ Notable Changes

⁠ Starting April 22, 2025

• The bitnami/memcached-exporter is now based on scratch, meaning that the container image only contains the memcached_exporter binary and its license files.

⁠ Starting January 16, 2024

• The docker-compose.yaml file has been removed, as it was solely intended for internal testing purposes.
