Error in Docker container: Default journal plugin is not configured

[Jan-Terje Sørensen]

Hi,

I am working on getting my akka-persistence app to run in Docker. When I run the application from Intellij it works as intended, but when i deploy the same files(jar & config) to Docker and try to run it from the container i get this error: 

```

My `reference.conf` file looks like this:

```

akka {

  loggers = ["akka.event.slf4j.Slf4jLogger"]

  loglevel = "DEBUG"

  logging-filter = "akka.event.slf4j.Slf4jLoggingFilter"

  persistence {

    journal {

      plugin = "akka.persistence.journal.leveldb"

      leveldb.dir = "target/journal"

    }

    snapshot-store {

      plugin = "akka.persistence.snapshot-store.local"

      local.dir = "target/snapshots"

    }

  }

  actor {

    warn-about-java-serializer-usage = false

  }

}

```

Any suggestions on how to attack this issue?

May I assume that you should use `application.conf` in your code, not `reference.conf` as you've mentioned in the post.

[Jan-Terje Sørensen]

If I change to application.conf then I get this error because reference.conf is missing:

[Jan-Terje Sørensen]

Just figured it out. Filename should be "application.conf" as you stated. And the transformer name should be "reference.conf"

<transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">
    <resource>reference.conf</resource>
</transformer>

Wtf is this XMl snippet ?

[Jan-Terje Sørensen]

That is the pom.xml file for transforming the config file.

[Evgeny Shepelyuk]

Ohh, maven. Unfortunately have no expirience how it works with akka and why `.conf` transformation needed.
