Description:
Added the VTS pluggin package in the dockerfiles.
The VTS pluggin allows to export way more infromation for monitoring purpose that can be digested and presented by other tools, such as Prometheus.
Although the pluggin is not fully supported by the maintener for recent versions of nginx, Alpine Linux seems to support it by providing packages for the currently used version of Nginx.
Benefits of this PR and context:
This VTS pluggin, when used by the end user, would allow to export a lot of data from the Nginx server and allow better monitoring.
How Has This Been Tested?
I first updated the x86/amd64 Dockerfile, built it and ran it on my infrastructure (I use it as a reverse proxy for all my services behind).
I then configured it to export the data to Prometheus and checked the information there.
For the other architectures, I used the qemu-user-static tool to build and run it.
Here is the extract of the process:
