Can we create docker logging plugin in Java? I know we can do it in Go, but can we do it in java?

Question

I am wondering if there is a way to write the docker logging plugin in Java? As per their documentation here https://docs.docker.com/engine/extend/plugins_logging/, we can create custom docker logging plugin. All I can see is that it has to be in language Go.

Wondering if anyone knows that this can be coded in Java or not? If yes, then a little documentation would be helpful

Answer 1

There's a more generic documentation page which clarifies that a plugin is a separate process providing a JSON-over-HTTP server. It looks like the only SDK Docker provides is written in Go, but nothing would stop you from implementing this interface in a different language.
