Answer a question

I try to implement logging in my django project (Django/Postgresql/Docker/Celery) but got an error when I deploy my project in linux server (but it work locally)

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/src/app/logs/debug.log'

I've read about a solution in this SO post: Django: Unable to configure handler 'syslog'

but fisrt I do not even understand why this solution should works and I do not manage to implement it in my project. I use Docker/docker-compose so I install netcat with Dockerfile and then try to RUN nc -lU /logs/debug.log /logs/info.log but it failed (no such file or directory)

Dockerfile

# Pull the official base image
FROM python:3.8.3-alpine

# Set a work directory
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

# Set environment variables
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE 1
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1

# install psycopg2 dependencies
RUN apk update && apk add postgresql-dev gcc g++ python3-dev musl-dev netcat-openbsd

# create UNIX socket for logs files
#RUN nc -lU /logs/debug.log /logs/info.log
...

settings.py

In fact, logs folder and .log files were excluded with my .gitignore files. Changing to logsfiles folder and debug and info (without extension) files, resolve the problem and I was able to run container

neverthless, nothing is written in theses files...
