docker: Print last 5 lines.
$ docker logs ${container_name} --tail ${5}
try on your machine

This command is used to view the logs of a specific Docker container.

  • ${container_name} is a placeholder for the name or ID of the container you want to view the logs for. You need to replace it with the actual name or ID of the container.
  • docker logs is the command to view the logs of a Docker container.
  • --tail is an optional flag used to specify the number of lines to show from the end of the logs. In this case, ${5} is a placeholder for the number of lines you want to display. Replace it with the actual number, e.g., --tail 10 to show the last 10 lines of logs. If not specified, it will show all the logs.

So, by executing this command, you can view the last 5 lines (or any specified number) of logs for the specified Docker container.
