docker – syslog-ng

Last Update: 8/10/2024

This is a quick construction – but it servers a purpose. Really this is fairly simple.

Please note the yaml file. docker-compose.yaml

Please note the volumes. In this construction we are preserving the /var/log/messages onto the host machine. This may not be your cup of tea – and I am only drawing your attention to it because this is a demonstration construction
