Hello,

I have a simple service definition file - nginx-test.service and located in user core home directory (/var/home/core) :

[Unit]
Description=This a basic Nginx service for a testing
After=docker.service
Requires=docker.service

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

[Service]
RestartSec=10
Restart=always
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker kill nginx-test
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/docker rm nginx-test
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker run \
--name=nginx-test \
--network=host \
--volume=/var/home/core/nginx/config:/etc/nginx/conf \
--volume=/var/home/core/nginx/html:/usr/share/nginx/html \
nginx:1.17.2-alpine nginx -c /etc/nginx/conf/nginx.conf -g "daemon off;"
ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker stop nginx-test

This file is:

$ sudo cp nginx-test.service /etc/systemd/system/
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl start nginx-test

$ pwd
/var/home/core

$ tree nginx
nginx
├── config
│ └── nginx.conf
└── html
└── index.html

This exact configuration works on my CoreOS AMI on AWS - which we use for the last couple of years. But, it does not work with Fedora CoreOS on my bare metal hardware. I even changed directory/file permissions on nginx from core to root and still get the errors:

Aug 24 02:53:36 rhino docker[28805]: nginx-test

$ ls -l nginx/config/
total 4
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3735 Aug 24 01:08 nginx.conf

Is there a new way to make this work?

Thanks & Regards
