How to check the logs of a Docker container?

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.
