+-------
+Sample docker setup using an LD_PRELOAD wrapper to redirect system calls
+accessing /proc and /sys to prefixed bind-mounts inside the container.
+
+Drop your collectd configuration snippets in the
+contrib/docker/collectd.conf.d/ directory, and build an image including them:
+ $ docker build -t my_collectd ./contrib/docker/
+
+Then run it with the required bind-mounts:
+ $ docker run -it --rm \
+    -v /proc:/rootfs/proc:ro -v /sys:/rootfs/sys:ro \
+    --name collectd my_collectd
+ $ docker exec -it collectd collectdctl listval
