Docker: Store logs on a different volume outside of the container about imapsync

[gilleslamiral]

When I run docker run --rm gilleslamiral/imapsync imapsync <usual imapsync arguments> the logs are created somewhere inside the container

Yes, in the directory /var/tmp/uid_65534/LOG_imapsync/

What path should I put there so the logs get correctly stored where I want them?

Add the option --log

Here is a working example, just tested:

mkdir /var/tmp/kk
chown nobody  /var/tmp/kk
docker run -v /var/tmp/kk:/var/tmp/uid_65534/LOG_imapsync  gilleslamiral/imapsync imapsync --log --testslive
ls -l  /var/tmp/kk/*
/var/tmp/kk/2024_04_18_12_26_11_447_test1_test2.txt

Another solution, no volume needed, just a classical Unix redirection:

docker run  gilleslamiral/imapsync imapsync --testslive | tee /tmp/imapsync_log.txt
cat /tmp/imapsync_log.txt
