Hi Andrew, Thanks for your response. Yes the path is correct When I execute with host location as /1234 it creates the container, but nothing inside /1234 folder root@hdata3:/home/smb/code/conf# docker run -it -v "$PWD"/syslog-ng.conf:/1234 --name syslog-ng -p 514:514 -p 601:601 balabit/syslog-ng:latest syslog-ng: Error setting capabilities, capability management disabled; error='Operation not permitted' [2018-05-25T14:12:15.695588] WARNING: Configuration file format is too old, syslog-ng is running in compatibility mode. Please update it to use the syslog-ng 3.14 format at your time of convenience. To upgrade the configuration, please review the warnings about incompatible changes printed by syslog-ng, and once completed change the @version header at the top of the configuration file.; I can see inside the container that /etc/syslog-ng/ this folder is not updated root@hdata3:/home/smb# docker exec -ti syslog-ng /bin/bash root@d634d32aee4c:/# root@d634d32aee4c:/# ls -l /1234/ total 0 root@d634d32aee4c:/# root@d634d32aee4c:/# ls -l /sy/etcslog-ng/ conf.d/ patterndb.d/ scl.conf syslog-ng.conf root@d634d32aee4c:/# ls -lrt /etc/syslog-ng/ total 12 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5910 Feb 23 13:17 syslog-ng.conf drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 6 Mar 2 12:58 conf.d drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 6 Mar 2 12:58 patterndb.d -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1336 Mar 2 12:58 scl.conf root@d634d32aee4c:/# On 25 May 2018 at 13:31, Mitzki, András <andras.mitzki@balabit.com> wrote:
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

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
