Docker-compose install... where is the server.conf file?

Anyone here install graylog via docker-compose? Graylog2/docker-compose

The wiki has info where to find the server.conf file in package installs but makes no mention about docker at all. Post install there is no server.conf file inside the docker volumes…

This is a fresh install, all I did was ‘docker compose up’ and now I am trying to follow this tutorial on wazuh integration which requires server.conf greylog changes… Part 2. Graylog Install — Log Ingestion | by SOCFortress | Medium

In docker you use all the same config commands, you can just add them as environment variables in your docker-compose.yml file by prepending GRAYLOG_ to the config entry, so:

      graylog:
        restart: "unless-stopped"
        image: graylog/graylog-enterprise:5.0.5
        environment:
          - GRAYLOG_PASSWORD_SECRET=1234567890123456
          - GRAYLOG_ROOT_PASSWORD_SHA2=1234DEADBEEF
          - GRAYLOG_HTTP_EXTERNAL_URI=http://127.0.0.1:9000/
          - GRAYLOG_HTTP_ENABLE_CORS=true
          - GRAYLOG_METRICS_PROMETHEUS_ENABLED=true
          - GRAYLOG_ELASTICSEARCH_HOSTS=http://opensearch:9200
          - GRAYLOG_SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECKS=true
          - GRAYLOG_INTEGRATIONS_SCRIPTS_DIR=/usr/share/graylog/scripts

hey @TheLinuxGuy

The configuration file should be called graylog.conf. you can use locate , etc… to find it. But you best bet would be using env variable and/or mounting it in volume which the config file should be locate.

You can also mount the config file.

graylog:      
    volumes:      
      -    graylog_example.conf :/usr/share/graylog/data/config/graylog.conf
