symfony docker-compose output log to host

I am setting up a Symfony 6/Next js app with docker-compose and would like to have the logs from Monolog that in Symfony are output to /var/log/ show on a host file within the app code, so that I can easily review it with VSCode instead of the awkward process of opening a shell.

Note that the logs are correctly output with the container, which is fine.

So I have attempted to create a bind mount, but either it just does not work or it throws an error with docker-compose up.

Something like:

services:
  php:
    build:
    context: ./api
    target: api_platform_php
    depends_on:
      - database
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
       - php_socket:/var/run/php
       - ./api/var/log:/srv/api/var/log ***HERE***

In this specific instance it will error: setfacl: var/log: Not supported

I did find a number of related questions on SO, including this one, but they either concern overall docker logs or are not directly applicable.

Not what you asked, but its common practice to pipe the logs to the container:

Monolog config: path: "php://stderr"

then you can use docker-compose logs -f --tail="all" php

from outside the container
