Can't reload syslog-ng

[Issykul]

---

Expected Behavior

With syslog-ng-ctl reload i should be able to reload the config file.

Current Behavior

Instead of reloading the config the container prints out this: Error connecting control socket, socket='/run/syslog-ng.ctl', error='No such file or directory'

Steps to Reproduce

1. Pull Image
2. Start Container
3. Do something or nothing to the config, doesn't matter
4. docker exec syslog-ng syslog-ng-ctl reload or do docker exec -it syslog-ng bash and run the command inside.

Docker logs

Nothing gets printed in the logs, so not relatable.

I know i could re-deploy the compose file. But that is not what i am looking for.

Let me do some tests, it's an achievable goal but I'm not sure the cleanest way to do it.

[thespad]

Try syslog-ng-ctl reload -c /config/syslog-ng.ctl

@thespad Could you add this to the Support Info Headline in the README? So if I forget about this in the future, i can find it here 😂

[thespad]

I'll add it to the readme when I get a chance.
