Poem

🐰 A link was wandering, lost in the docs,
Till we redirected its path with some rocks,
From old installation to downloads so bright,
Now Docker flows smoothly—a reader's delight! 📚✨

11-11: Consider wrapping the bare URL per markdown linting standards.

The static analysis tool flagged the bare URL (MD034). Markdown linting prefers URLs to be wrapped in angle brackets <url> or markdown link syntax [text](url). However, note that all other URLs in this file follow the same bare URL pattern, so fixing this inconsistency would require updating lines 15, 23, 28, and 34 as well for consistency.

Learning: For fluent-bit Debian packaging, /opt/fluent-bit/bin/ is the appropriate installation path since the package may be installed from non-official Debian sources, making /opt compliant with FHS for optional software packages.

11-11: Update documentation link to correct Docker installation guide page.

The URL has been correctly updated to point to the more specific Docker downloads documentation page.

---

11-11: URL verification complete — no issues found.

The URL https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/installation/downloads/docker exists and contains Docker installation documentation for Fluent Bit, including docker run examples, configuration-file usage, image tags/architectures, signing info, and FAQ. The documentation reference in the README is valid and appropriate.
