Where are Omero Server Log files located?

[jithumurugan]

Hello, could you please let me know where inside the omero-server container will be the log files be generated?

e.g. I attach to the server container using command: docker exec -it $(docker ps -aqf "name=dockerexampleomeromaster_omeroserver_1") /bin/bash

I see there are some files are written here: /OMERO/ManagedRepository/root_0/
Is this the right location or do you have a different location for the log files,
Specifically I am trying to use python omero-py (BlitzGateway) client in order to retrieve the image data from server.
................
from omero.gateway import BlitzGateway
................
For such data retrievals, where are the respective logs generated in omero-server container (name=dockerexampleomeromaster_omeroserver_1)?

Hi @jithumurugan,

OMERO logs are in: /opt/omero/server/OMERO.server/var/log per https://github.com/ome/omero-server-docker#default-volumes

All the best,
~Josh

Thanks Josh, I did not look into the specific readme before. I was using docker-compose to bring up the respective containers, for this case we will not be able access the server logs easily right, without attaching to the container. I have a solution for this, may be a more flexible version of docker-compse.yml (attached as docker-compose.txt), I have defined the volume data directories to the pwd folders, would this version be better? User can also change the data location to where they want it to be?

Definitely.

    volumes:
      - "omero:/OMERO"
      - "omerolog:/opt/omero/server/OMERO.server/var"
 ...
  omerolog:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: 'none'
      o: 'bind'
      device: '$PWD/omero_server_logs/' 

That's certainly how it's intended to be used. 👍

May be you could commit this version and edit the readme a bit to involve this information too, so will be useful for the potential users in future :)
