After restarting the machine (VPS) the server does not start services

[Former user]

I have to restart a VPS (Azure) that contains the docker poste.io and since then the docker container is up but the services not. The main trace is:

open_log: cannot open desired log file: /var/log/rspamd/rspamd.log, Too many levels of symbolic links Fatal error, cannot open logfile, exiting

Poste.io container should be running now at http://172.17.0.2

How are you starting container?

Simple solution is to stop container delete log folder and start again.

I finally started a fresh docker and copied the data avoiding copiyng the problematic logs and it works... But it is a big problem. It is a way to limit the log files to avoid this problem with high level of connections?

Jose, I am curious as to what your user/connection count is?

I think the error is not too many links, just an error with one or more

Closing for now. Reopen if it is still blocker for you
