ejabberd cannot write log files when deployed with docker-composer

Question

Deployed using docker-composer, check that no log files are generated in the /home/ejabberd/logs folder. Check docker logs to find errors

EJABBERD_LOG_PATH=/home/ejabberd/logs

{open_failed,"/home/ejabberd/logs",eisdir}}}

eisdir means: "Error, it is a directory"

You can provide the filename with

EJABBERD_LOG_PATH=/home/ejabberd/logs/ejabberd.log

Or you can provide the directory with

LOGS_DIR=/home/ejabberd/logs/
