seems overlay would hit another issue

I tried on centos 7.2 with docker 1.11.1

This container really isn't portable, not really surprised it doesn't run. See jpetazzo/syslogdocker#4 (comment) for some notes on a version that might work better.

The error is a bit confusing, and quite hard to debug, but I think it is to do with missing device nodes.

[thaJeztah]

Also, this looks like a duplicate of #20228, so I'll close this one

[justincormack]

AH yes, it is the same as that issue. Just surprised it ever worked!

[polonskiy]

Thanks

[justincormack]

You can probably make it work with docker run -v /dev:/dev syslog (there are then some other permissions issues that need fixing, you may need some privileges).

[justincormack]

(Although using a log driver seems much easier).

[thaJeztah]

Yes, I think that image and article were written when there was not yet a syslog driver for docker.

ping @jpetazzo perhaps you can make a mention on that repository and related blog post (I think it was from a blog post)?

[polonskiy]

@justincormack , thank you.
@thaJeztah yep https://jpetazzo.github.io/2014/08/24/syslog-docker/

@thaJeztah Right now I did not think it is same issue as #20228, as it still not solved and in 1.10.*

But I tried it work on 1.10.2 environment, with

but it hit issue for 1.11.1 overlay
