docker 主进程 日志,将在Docker容器中创建的日志文件重定向到stdout / stderr

I have the following Dockerfile:

FROM ubuntu:16.04

RUN apt-get update

VOLUME ["/LOGS"]

COPY ./testServer .

ENTRYPOINT ./testServer 8600

"testServer" has log files that are being written to. They are located in the directory "LOGS". Each time "testServer" is started, a new log is created. What I wanted to do was to "tail" the latest log file in the directory to stdout / stderr.

I tried adding:

CMD ["/bin/sh", "-c", "tail $( ls -Art /LOGS | tail -n 1 ) > out_server.log 2>&1"]

to the Dockerfile (and rebuilt the image thereafter) but it did not work.

How can this be done?

TIA

Instead you using tail, you can symlink the log file to the container process's stdout. To do so, you need to wrap your executable in a separate script so it gets launched as a process separate from the container's main process.

Script to execute:

#!/bin/bash

# The application log will be redirected to the main docker container process's stdout, so # that it will show up in the container logs

touch /my/app/application.log

ln -sf /proc/1/fd/1 /my/app/application.log

# Execute my app

./testServer 8600

And in the docker file just copy and execute the script

COPY start_server.sh /the/above/script/start_server.sh

CMD ["/bin/bash", "/the/above/script/start_server.sh"]
