I define two log levels in my Nginx config file
http {
log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
'$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
'"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;
...
}
and in the server
server {
access_log /var/log/nginx/nginx_access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/nginx_error.log;
location / {
...
}
}
My docker-compose.yaml
services:
nginx:
build:
context: ./nginx
restart: always
volumes:
- logs:/var/log/nginx
ports:
- "80:80"
depends_on:
- django
...
volumes:
logs:
But when I run the containers at the logs/ where isn't the access.log, nginx_erro.log, nginx_acess.log or neither a folder/file created by the NGINX but when I check in the NGINX container the files are there.
Is there something I am forgetting?

How are you trying to access the logs on your docker host?
Try to map your named volume onto your host:
And check if the access & error files are available!
