DEMO

1. On 1st terminal, start the splunk service.

docker-compose up --build --renew-anon-volumes

2. On 2nd terminal, we create symbolic link so the changes can be reflected and we can avoid the volumes permission issues.

$ docker exec -it splunk /bin/bash
$ cd $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/
$ sudo ln -s /apps/custom_rest_app/ .
$ sudo $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk restart
