Syslog socket bind exception in digitalocean deployment

[Luke-Shepp]

I am deploying a laravel project as a digitalocean app.

My Dockerfile is very simply;

FROM webdevops/php-nginx:8.2-alpine

WORKDIR /app

ENV WEB_DOCUMENT_ROOT="/app/public"

RUN apk update
RUN apk add npm

COPY --chown=application:application . .

RUN composer install --no-dev --no-interaction

RUN npm install
RUN npm run prod

The build works fine;

However on the deploy step (the container is started), the container exits with an error:

Error binding socket; addr='AF_UNIX(/dev/log)', error='Address in use (98)

Some more log file for context;
