--- Comment #6 from ivanov17 <ivano...@riseup.net> --- Thank you, Jeremy and Heiko! I am sorry for my lack of attention, I really missed the statement that options that undergo string expansion before use are marked with †. Now I'm using a simply configuration where I override the compiled settings and default ports. I always have a stateless container that can run without additional configuration, but I can set all other options in an included file placed on a persistent volume. Also I can run Exim containers from non-priveleged user and they works fine. I can create an included configuration file from template using configuration management tools like Ansible, and have different configurations in different environments. Voila! $ cat /etc/exim/exim.conf # Override compiled settings exim_user = 101 exim_group = 101 spool_directory = /data log_file_path = /data/log/%slog : syslog # Listen on unprivileged ports daemon_smtp_ports = 2525 : 4465 tls_on_connect_ports = 4465 # Read configuration from a mounted volume .include_if_exists /data/exim.conf But there is a problem that I can't solve. Exim unable to write logs to standard output. I can read container logs when I run the daemon with `-bdf` option, but this only works with pseudo-TTY allocated to the container. Unfortunately, I unable to collection logs from such containers. I have searched the web for a solution, but everything that I found is ugly. First, I can create symlinks to /dev/stdout and /dev/stderr instead of log files. Another option is to run multiple processes in a container (xtail or a syslog daemon). That is a wrong way, but even if I do, I need to write simple process manager and in the case of the syslog daemon, I have to run it as root, because it has to create /dev/log file. So I think I should open a new issue for this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
