podman-compose: Follow logs for a container (omit all container names).
$ podman-compose logs --follow ${container_name}
try on your machine

The command podman-compose logs --follow ${container_name} is used to view the logs of a specific container in a multi-container application defined by a Podman Compose file.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • podman-compose: Executes Podman Compose, a tool for managing multiple container applications using Podman (a daemonless container engine).
  • logs: Specifies the action to view the logs of the containers.
  • --follow: This flag tells Podman to continuously stream and display the logs as they are generated in real-time.
  • ${container_name}: The placeholder for the name of the container whose logs you want to view. You need to replace ${container_name} with the actual name of the container.

By running this command, you will be able to monitor the logs of the specified container in your Podman Compose application, allowing you to troubleshoot and analyze the behavior of the container during its runtime.
