when i am trying to bring the container , it fails by throwing “The file: /usr/sw/jail/logs/debug.log is not writable.” is there a way i can change the logging directory to ay /opt

i beleive if i keep logging\_debug\_output=none , still debug.log will try to get created but due to permission issue it will not work for me, so i am trying if there is a way i can redirect the default “usr/sw/jail/logs” to the directory where i have access will solve my issue

This is typically done through Docker’s [Volumes](https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/) mechanism. I would map `/var/lib/solace` to a folder that is writeable. If this is not clear, please provide on your method of running the container ( _e.g._ , command line, docker compose, etc.).
