Install the Collector with Docker
Docker
The following commands pull a Docker image and run the Collector in a container.
Replace 0.139.0 with the version of the Collector you want to run.
docker pull otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib:0.139.0
docker run otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib:0.139.0
docker pull ghcr.io/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/opentelemetry-collector-contrib:0.139.0
docker run ghcr.io/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/opentelemetry-collector-contrib:0.139.0
To load a custom configuration file from your working directory, mount that file as a volume:
docker run -v $(pwd)/config.yaml:/etc/otelcol-contrib/config.yaml otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib:0.139.0
docker run -v $(pwd)/config.yaml:/etc/otelcol-contrib/config.yaml ghcr.io/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/opentelemetry-collector-contrib:0.139.0
