docker: Display the path to the container's log file.
$ docker inspect --format='${-LogPath}' ${container}
try on your machine
The command "docker inspect --format='${-LogPath}' ${container}" is used to display the log path of a specific Docker container.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "docker inspect" is a Docker CLI command used to fetch detailed information about a Docker container or other Docker objects.
- "--format='${-LogPath}'" is an option that specifies the desired output format for the information retrieved by the inspect command. In this case, it uses a custom format specified as "${-LogPath}". The "-LogPath" is a placeholder that will be replaced with the actual log path of the container.
- "${container}" is a placeholder for the specific container's name or ID that you want to inspect. Replace it with the actual name or ID of the desired container.
By running this command, Docker will retrieve and display the log path for the specified container.
