Issue running Dovecot in Docker Container

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:
bash-4.2# doveconf -nc /etc/dovecot/director.conf # 2.2.36 (1f10bfa63):
/etc/dovecot/director.conf # OS: Linux 4.1.12-112.14.11.el7uek.x86_64
x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.7 (Maipo) # Hostname:

auth_verbose = yes base_dir = /var/run/dovecot_director debug_log_path =

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 1000

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.
Thanks & Regards,

Do you have !include or !try_include in director.conf?
The conf.d files are not included otherwise.

I have tried these in the 10-logging.conf but no

Hello,
We need help with an issue that we are

Also how do we enable debugging for
dovecot. Logs doesn't show any info about the issue.

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