Goaccess: GoAccess via Docker does not work as expected

[realies]

When using the following command, GoAccess does not work as expected and exits straight away. goaccess.conf has been pulled manually into /mnt/user/appdata/goaccess/data.

docker run --name="goaccess" -p 7890:7890/tcp -v "/mnt/user/appdata/goaccess/data":"/srv/data":rw -v "/mnt/user/appdata/goaccess/html":"/srv/report":rw -v "/mnt/user/appdata/letsencrypt/log/nginx":"/srv/logs":ro allinurl/goaccess

Ok, the assumption was that GoAccess will start in daemon mode and will listen on its default port. Perhaps reduce the amount of manual config required and automate data, time and log format recognition so the default behaviour of the container is to start in daemon mode?

As indicated here, you need to specify the log/date/time format, the input log and output file in your config file for the Docker image to work. Not sure how much you can automate on that, perhaps detecting the log-format, though, that's already in the to-do list.
