Wait, did they just say 'reboot' in a container question? I hope that doesn't mean I have to restart the entire server to test this solution. That would be a real pain!

No need to restart the entire server, you can just restart the container to test the solution.

Haha, I wonder if the exam creators are trying to trip us up with that 'container-logserver' directory name. I bet they're just testing our attention to detail!
