docker: Fetch and follow the logs of a container.
$ docker logs -f ${container_name}
try on your machine
The command docker logs -f ${container_name} is used to view the real-time log output of a specific Docker container.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
docker logs: This is the Docker command used to retrieve the logs of a container.-for--follow: This flag tells Docker to continuously stream the logs as new lines are added, following the output.${container_name}: This is the placeholder for the name or identifier of the container whose logs you want to view. You would need to replace${container_name}with the actual name or ID of your desired container.
By running this command, Docker will display the log output of the specified container in your terminal. The -f flag ensures that new log entries are shown as they happen, giving you real-time updates.
