[syslog-ng] Unbale to mount syslog-ng.conf to /etc/syslog-ng using docker image

[Mujeeb Baig]

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 at 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 at hdata3:/home/smb# docker exec -ti syslog-ng /bin/bash
root at d634d32aee4c:/#
root at d634d32aee4c:/# ls -l /1234/
