Stupid question, but is “/myconf/nginx” a file ?

Otherwise what does the following command says :

docker logs 5a2e6c7ddc9af64e81a795333c671b19288ac0d0e8b0a44d1e152e9d3e9f6b77

I have known
-v is
-v / absolute path directory of the host : directory in the container
so,i want to add -v
then start nginx container but it is exited,why?

In addition, I saw the log information, but I don’t know how to deal with it and What is the cause of the error!

for this issue try to check volume mount point permissions it should not be other ownership lik ROOT, so the user from which you are starting the container should own the volume mounts
