To display logs:

1
2
Copydocker container logs <container>
docker logs <container>
  • You can stream the log output using -f (or –follow):
1
ocker logs -f <container>

Type Ctrl+C to exit.

Most containers generate a lot of entries, so you can use the –tail or –until options to limit the amount. For example, to display only the last 20 log entries:

1
docker logs -f --tail 20 <container>
