 #   Example: debug.log
 #
+#   In a container, you can set this to /dev/stdout (or /proc/1/fd/1, which is
+#   more portable) to route the server's logs to the container log driver. With
+#   --silent, the console (stderr) log sink is disabled, so the [debug_logfile]
+#   sink is the only one that keeps receiving ongoing logs.
