Hi Matt, No, I am not using a volume at the moment.
The data directory that I am using is /app/data and is owned by the activemq user and activemq group with 755 permissions. ActiveMQ runs as the activemq user. ActiveMQ clearly can create files there: activemq@7a5313d69a74:/app/data$ ls -al total 20 drwxr-xr-x 1 activemq activemq 4096 Jun 22 16:44 . drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Jun 22 16:38 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 activemq activemq 610 Jun 22 16:44 activemq.log -rw-r--r-- 1 activemq activemq 2 Jun 22 16:44 activemq.pid -rw-r--r-- 1 activemq activemq 0 Jun 22 16:44 audit.log Cheers, Fabrice ________________________________ From: Matt Pavlovich <mattr...@gmail.com> Sent: 22 June 2021 16:54 To: users@activemq.apache.org <users@activemq.apache.org> Subject: Re: Roundup of the configuration files CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.
