Published on Aug. 22, 2023, 12:18 p.m.
To check the logs of a Docker container, you can use the docker logs
command followed by the name or ID of the container. For example:
docker logs my_container
This command will retrieve the logs for a running container called my_container
. You can also use the -f
option to follow the container logs in real-time, similar to tail -f
. Additionally, you can use options to customize the log output such as --since
for filtering logs since a certain time, --tail
for retrieving a certain number of lines, or --timestamps
for showing timestamps with the logs. For more information, refer to the Docker documentation on docker logs
.
