NLog in docker compose not giving file output - asp.net-core

Question

I'm trying to set up logging for my application using NLog. The app is running in a docker service along with other services such as a database. I'm not sure if that creates any issues, but I doubt it as I set up internal logging and that works fine. I set up NLog to have two targets: a console target and a file target. The internal log tells me it loaded those two targets from my config I specified. Now, the weird thing is, I get console output, but no file gets created.
nlog.config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
autoReload="true"
internalLogLevel="info"
internalLogFile="logs/internal-nlog.txt">
<!-- enable asp.net core layout renderers -->
<extensions>
<add assembly="NLog.Web.AspNetCore"></add>
</extensions>
<!-- the targets to write to -->
<targets>
<!-- console log -->
<target name="consolelog" xsi:type="Console"></target>
<target name="logfile" xsi:type="File" fileName="logs/${shortdate}-n.txt" Layout="${longdate}|${level:uppercase=true}|${logger}|${message}"></target>
</targets>
<!-- rules to map from logger name to target -->

<!-- log everything from application namespace to console -->

<!-- log everything from application namespace to file -->
<logger name="vote_server.*" minlevel="Trace" writeTo="logfile"></logger>
</rules>
</nlog>
