Dear all,

i can't get logstash working multipipeline mode inside a docker container.

**pipelines.yml (inside container)**

```
/usr/share/logstash/config
bash-4.2$ stat pipelines.yml 
  File: ‘pipelines.yml’
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 1000/logstash) Gid: ( 0/ root)

```

**docker-compose.yml** volume section

```
volumes:
  - type: bind
      source: ./logstash/config/logstash.yml
      target: /usr/share/logstash/config/logstash.yml
      read_only: true

- type: bind
     source: ./logstash/pipeline
     target: /usr/share/logstash/pipeline
     read_only: true

- type: bind
     source: ./logstash/config/pipelines.yml
     target: /usr/share/logstash/config/pipelines.yml
     read_only: true

```

No way to bind pipelines.yml i am getting this error when trying to bind pipelines.yml

`ERROR: for logstash Cannot start service logstash: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:346: starting container process caused "process_linux.go:449: container init caused \"rootfs_linux.go:58: mounting \\\"/home/user/docker-elk/logstash/config/pipelines.yml\\\" to rootfs \\\"/var/lib/docker/overlay2/49aeb7ecb70e07930c316ffc8e7d0d5a18a151da91c8b40990bf7f7ee3306158/merged\\\" at \\\"/var/lib/docker/overlay2/49aeb7ecb70e07930c316ffc8e7d0d5a18a151da91c8b40990bf7f7ee3306158/merged/usr/share/logstash/config/pipelines.yml\\\" caused \\\"not a directory\\\"\"": unknown: Are you trying to mount a directory onto a file (or vice-versa)?

Hi @nino ,

Usually, when I face this kind of error message, the source of the volume is wrong.

Have you checked that `./logstash/config/pipelines.yml` exists ?

Thanks Xavier, that's it!. pipelines.yml does not exit in host.

Best
