Install method: podman
Clients used: web vault.
Reverse proxy and version: Nginx 1.22 with the configuration based on the user blackdex here
MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL version: PostgreSQL:14-bullseye
Other relevant details: podman version 3.0.1

Steps to reproduce

podman run --rm -it --env-file $PWD/configs/vault_env -v $PWD/log/vaultwarden/:/var/log/ -v $PWD/vaultwarden:/data/:Z  -p 10300:10300 --user "$(id -u):$(id -g)" --name vaultwarden vaultwarden/server:1.25.0

See the stdout output.

Expected behaviour

From this wiki page. When set properly, all the log should also be stored in a file indicated by the content of LOG_FILE variable.

Actual behaviour

The log continues being dump in to the stdout, but nothing is stored in the file.
