Is there anyway to start rsyslogd without sudo access?

I'm running docker container without sudo access using 

docker run -it --user 739000:8500 blabla...

Is there anyway I can start rsyslogd deamon inside this docker container without sudo access?

Solution

  • Managed to start rsyslogd inside docker container by modifying permissions of some relevant files, including pid file, config file and etc. when building a docker image. However, after such changes, rsyslogd can only be started once, and it can't get restarted, as /var/lock/subsys/rsyslog can't be removed without sudo. Is there anyway I can modify permission of /var/lock/subsys/rsyslog so that it can be removed without sudo?
