OpenTelemetry Distribution Builder

Summary

🚀 OpenTelemetry Distribution Builder Build custom OpenTelemetry Collector Distributions from manifest files with a local build utility, Docker, Google Cloud Build, or a GitHub Action. Quick Start • Documentation • Examples 🤔 Why OpenTelemetry Distribution Builder? Built on top of the OpenTelemetry Collector Builder (OCB), it uses a manifest.yaml to define the components you need, then automates packaging for multiple platforms and manages version releases via GitHub. While OCB (OpenTelemetry Collector Builder) focuses on building single collector binaries, the OpenTelemetry Distribution Builder provides a complete distribution management solution: 🔨 Builds multi-platform binaries using OCB under the hood 📦 Generates installation packages following OTel community best practices 🚀 Automates versioned releases through GitHub Actions 🔄 Simplifies updates through manifest-based configuration It handles all the complex aspects of managing your own distribution that have historically made building custom collectors challenging. With the OpenTelemetry Distribution Builder, you can focus on defining your components while the tooling takes care of the rest. ✨ Features 🎯 Custom Component Selection : Build distributions with exactly the components you need : Build distributions with exactly the components you need 🌐 Multi-Platform Support : Build for multiple architectures (amd64, arm64) : Build for multiple architectures (amd64, arm64) 📦 Multiple Package Formats : Generate APK, DEB, RPM, and TAR.GZ packages : Generate APK, DEB, RPM, and TAR.GZ packages 🔄 GitHub Actions Integration : Seamless CI/CD integration : Seamless CI/CD integration 🚀 Automated Releases : Streamlined versioning and release process : Streamlined versioning and release process 🔍 Platform-Specific Builds: Optimize for your target environment 🚀 Quick Start Create a new repository Add your manifest file ( manifest.yaml ): dist : name : my-otelcol description : My Custom OpenTelemetry Collector Distro # ... ext...
