If you want to run the image and mount the log files into /wwwlogs on the host as a container volume, execute the following command:
$ podman run -d -u 0 -e HTTPD_LOG_TO_VOLUME=1 --name httpd -v /wwwlogs:/var/log/httpd24:Z rhscl/httpd-24-rhel7
To run an image using the event MPM (rather than the default prefork), execute the following command:
$ podman run -d -e HTTPD_MPM=event --name httpd rhscl/httpd-24-rhel7
You can also set the following mount points by passing the -v /host:/container option to the podman run command:
