Can't run client inside a container

Description

I'm trying to run the pmm client in a sidecar container to mysql inside Kubernetes. I've already been doing this with 1.x, and I'm trying to upgrade to 2.x. This is what my Dockerfile looks like for the client.

When I try to run pmm-admin config like normal, this is the error I get.

I can't find any documentation about config files on the site. How do I get this set up? I'm planning to migrate the public Vitess helm charts to use this once I get it working.

Also, pmm documentation should include pmm installation on Kubernetes once it available.

Edited

pmm-agent configuration file should exist, but it can be empty – pmm-admin config updates it with given values and reloads pmm-agent.

Additionally, you may consider using .tar.gz with binaries instead of RPMs. You can download it from https://www.percona.com/downloads/pmm2/ (select Linux - Generic).

Lastly, we plan to provide a better experience for Kubernetes users. See https://jira.percona.com/browse/PMM-4759.

> So it looks like you need to start agent with config file path

I understand that, but there is no config file, and there is no documentation on what that file contains.

pls see "pmm-agent --help" for more details / flags
pmm-admin for pmm2 is some kind of "proxy" .

So it looks like you need to start agent with config file path
