Log Collection (lemmy.procrastinati.org)

I'm in the process of re-configuring my home lab and would like to get some help figuring out log collection. My setup was a hodgepodge of systems/OSes using rsyslog to send syslogs to a syslog listener on my qnap but that's not going to work anymore (partly because the qnap is gone).

My end-goal is going to be as homogeneous as I can manage. Mostly Debian 12 systems (phy and vm) and Docker containers. Does anyone know of a FOSS solution that can ingest journald, syslog, and if it's even possible to send docker logs to a log collector?

Thanks

FWIW I use an elastic stack for that: filebeat, journalbeat to collect logs. Logstash to sort and parse them. Elasticsearch to store them. Not sure if it satisfies your FOSS requirement, as I don't believe it's entirely open source.
