What "the docker image" are you talking about?
The Shibboleth project does not publish any docker images, AFAIR.

It should also be quite evident that log files should not be kept
inside the container. Restarting the container would cause a complete
loss of all logs, for example.

Why not ask the people that built this docker image?
Or submit a change request to them?
