Cannot read docker container logs: Permission denied

When issuing the docker log <container> command, I am getting the following error: 

[root@Infra-1 ~]# docker logs gitlab-redis
chmod: changing permissions of '/var/lib/redis': Permission denied

gitlab-redis is a container that has exited.

In fact, the directory does not exist at all:

[root@Infra-1 ~]# ls /var/lib/redis
ls: cannot access /var/lib/redis: No such file or directory

I suppose that docker log is looking in the wrong location. Could it possibly have been misconfigured? Where should I check?

I think docker logs is working, the output of the logs is chmod: changing permissions of '/var/lib/redis': Permission denied.

/var/lib/redis is inside the container, not on the host.
