We will use it to build two container images: postfix and rsyslog:\n\n```\ncd /vagrant\nsudo make\n```\n\nThe build will take a little time, depending on your available bandwidth of your\nconnection to the matrix. After the build has finished, you should see four\ncontainer images:\n\n```\n$ sudo docker images\nREPOSITORY                 TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED              SIZE\ngoern/postfix-centos7      latest              eb59c5c1f462        37 seconds ago       257.9 MB\ngoern/rsyslog-centos7      latest              5f4a6da1e79f        About a minute ago   215.7 MB\ndocker.io/centos           centos7             980e0e4c79ec        9 days ago           196.7 MB\ndocker.io/centos/systemd   latest              d0f9cc164503        3 weeks ago          196.7 MB\n```\n\n## Testing the container images\n\nTo start postfix use `sudo docker run --privileged --name postfix -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro -p 2525:25 -d goern/postfix-centos7`,\nthis will run the container detached from the terminal, aka 'in the background'.\nExecute a bash inside that container `sudo docker exec --interactive --tty postfix bash`\nand check if Postfix is running. You will see that all logs go to `/var/log/journal/`,\nwhich is obviously not what we want. Nevertheless `journalctl -f` will indicate\nthat Postfix has been started...\n\n\n# Starting OpenShift Origin\n\n`sudo docker run -d --name \"origin\"         --privileged --pid=host --net=host -v /var/log:/var/log -v /:/rootfs:ro -v /var/run:/var/run:rw -v /sys:/sys -v /var/lib/docker:/var/lib/docker:rw         -v /var/lib/origin/openshift.local.volumes:/var/lib/origin/openshift.local.volumes         openshift/origin start`\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgoern%2Frsyslog-sidecar","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fgoern%2Frsyslog-sidecar","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgoern%2Frsyslog-sidecar/lists"}
