docker: Print logs and append them with timestamps.
$ docker logs -t ${container_name}
try on your machine

The "docker logs" command is used to fetch and display the logs of a specified Docker container. Here is an explanation of the given command:

  • "docker logs": This is the base command used to fetch logs of Docker containers.
  • "-t": This flag is used to add a timestamp to each log line. It helps in understanding the chronological order of events in the logs.
  • "${container_name}": This is a placeholder for the actual name or ID of the Docker container whose logs you want to retrieve. You need to replace "${container_name}" with the specific name or ID of the container.

Overall, the command "docker logs -t ${container_name}" fetches and displays the logs of a Docker container, with timestamps added to each log line.
