haproxy logs in a kubernetes container

Question

I'm trying to run haproxy in a container deployed by kubernetes but it won't start from my entry script, when I logged into the container and tried to start it by hand I get:

[ALERT] 021/125902 (998) : sendto logger #1 failed: No such file or directory (errno=2)

The haproxy config I have for logging is:

log /dev/log    local2 debug

And in /etc/rsyslog.conf I have:

local2.* /etc/haproxy/logs/haproxy.log

I have /etc/haproxy as a shared volume mount in the container. So I want to send the logs to a file. The problem I have is that systemd-journald is not running in the container (from google searches seems like getting it to run is not straight forward). The error that haproxy is complained about is because there is no /dev/log in the container. So How do I get haproxy logs from my container?
