Mount Volume to Forwarder Container

[ekumar]

Hello,

I am trying to install the Splunk UF on a Docker container and mount the container to a specific volume. I am having success installing the container but when I add in a mount command the container is starting and exiting right away.

I am using Splunk UF version 7.2.6 taken from the following URL: https://hub.docker.com/r/splunk/universalforwarder

Here is the command I am running after creating an image:
*docker run -d -p 9997:9997 -e "SPLUNK_START_ARGS=--accept-license" -e "SPLUNK_PASSWORD=" -v : --name *

Any help would be much appreciated.

The full command got cutoff:

docker run -d -p 9997:9997 -e "SPLUNK_START_ARGS=--accept-license" -e "SPLUNK_PASSWORD=<password>" -v <name of volume>:<volume destination in container> --name <name of container> <image>
