docker Error response from daemon create logstash logstash includes invalid characters for a local volume name only a-zA-Z0-9 a-zA-Z0-9 - are allowed

Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to launch one Docker container for Logstash, but it is showing me the below error.

[root@localhost ~]# docker run -itd --name ls1 -v logstash/:/myconf logstash:7.7.1
docker: Error response from daemon: create logstash/: "logstash/" includes invalid characters for a local volume name, only "[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]" are allowed. If you intended to pass a host directory, use absolute path.
See 'docker run --help'.

Hi@akhtar,

You may get this error if you didn't provide the right path to mount with a docker container. So I suggest you to check your mount path properly and try once again.
