Hi Mujeeb, Maybe the problem is with the config file path: "/home/smb/code/conf/syslog-ng.conf" Could you check that path is correct? Regards Andrew On Fri, May 25, 2018 at 1:13 PM, Mujeeb Baig <baig.mujeeb@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi
This is my first trial of syslog-ng. I've tried to start syslog-ng just like described on the official bolg page https://syslog-ng.com/blog/cen tral-log-server-docker/ https://syslog-ng.com/blog/col lecting-docker-infrastructure-logs-using-syslog-ng/
I am starting docker container as:
docker run -it -v "$PWD"/syslog-ng.conf:/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf --name syslog-ng -p 514:514 -p 601:601 balabit/syslog-ng:latest
But unfortunately it is failing to mount my custom (local) configuration file from source to host, complaining about mounting a directory onto file
Error:
docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:348: starting container process caused "process_linux.go:402: container init caused \"rootfs_linux.go:58: mounting \\"/home/smb/code/conf/syslog-ng.conf\\" to rootfs \\"/var/lib/docker/devicemapper/mnt/52d32f854a030b396b03e759 6ab5d71eb1a18f34a09d5e4997c437568749b259/rootfs\\" at \\"/var/lib/docker/devicemapper/mnt/52d32f854a030b396b03e759 6ab5d71eb1a18f34a09d5e4997c437568749b259/rootfs/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf\\" caused \\"not a directory\\"\"": unknown: Are you trying to mount a directory onto a file (or vice-versa)? Check if the specified host path exists and is the expected type.
Am I missing something?
Please let me know
Many Thanks
Mujeeb
