ejabberd cannot write log files when deployed with docker-composer


Deployed using docker-composer, check that no log files are generated in the /home/ejabberd/logs folder. Check docker logs to find errors

I could not get through this error. Any help is greatly appreciated.


Solution

  • EJABBERD_LOG_PATH=/home/ejabberd/logs

    {open_failed,"/home/ejabberd/logs",eisdir}}}

    eisdir means: "Error, it is a directory"

    You can provide the filename with

    EJABBERD_LOG_PATH=/home/ejabberd/logs/ejabberd.log
    

    Or you can provide the directory with

    LOGS_DIR=/home/ejabberd/logs/
