Podman Prometheus Exporter

This application exports basic podman statistics (man podman-stats) for prometheus to scrape. It does not call podman stats but instead uses the libpod (now podman) library to fetch the statistics.

Build dependencies

For building on ubuntu/debian you need libdevmapper-dev, libgpgme-dev and libbtrfs-dev.

Build

Clone and run go build

If built on Gentoo (or probably any non debian based system) you may need to patch the devmapper shared library

patchelf --replace-needed libdevmapper.so.1.02 libdevmapper.so \
           podman_prometheus_exporter

Or you can use the Dockerfile to build
