If you are running your container as root. You will not have the issues
I encountered. Dovecot is dropping to the 'dovecot' and 'dovenull'(?)
when needed, this is fine.

PS. I would not recommend using internal logging, use something like
this to log to the host or remote syslog.
docker run -v /dev/log:/dev/log -it dovecot-proxy

Hi Marc,

I can see the processes are running as a root in container environment.
Do you think that still have issues ?
Here is the processes running inside container:

bash-4.2# ps -ef
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
root 1 0 0 Dec27 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /bootstrap.sh
root 7 1 0 Dec27 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dovecot -F -c
/etc/dovecot/director.conf
root 8 1 0 Dec27 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dovecot -F
root 9 1 0 Dec27 ? 00:00:00 sleep 36000d
dovecot 10 8 0 Dec27 ? 00:00:00 dovecot-Dovecot/anvil
dovecot 14 7 0 Dec27 ? 00:00:00 dovecot-Director/anvil

Thanks & Regards,

I have noticed several issues with dovecot, trying to run it
without
root. Which is preferable in any container environment. Maybe you
would
like me to document these somewhere? So at some point they can be
applied.

Hi, I can see those values correctly with the doveconf -nc command.
Here
is the part of output:

Can you check with `doveconf -nc /path/to/director.conf`
that the
values are actually set correctly?

The conf.d files are not included. I have added
!include
conf.d/*.conf to director.conf and reloaded the dovecot and
director
services.

conf.d/10-logging also has the following lines:

log_path = /dovecot.log
info_log_path = $log_path
debug_log_path = $log_path

The /dovecot.log file still shows empty. Nothing
is being
logged to that file.

The conf.d files are not included otherwise.

Try setting

info_log_path=$log_path
debug_log_path=$log_path
