How can I view logs from my Docker containers?

You can view logs from your Docker containers using the command docker logs <container_id>. This will show you the logs for the specified container.

What if I want to see real-time logs?

For real-time logs, you can use the command docker logs -f <container_id>. The -f flag stands for 'follow', which streams the logs live.

Can I filter the logs by date or time?

Yes, you can filter logs by date or time using tools like grep in combination with docker logs. For example: docker logs <container_id> | grep '2023-10-01'.

Is there a way to limit the number of log lines displayed?

Absolutely! You can limit the number of log lines by using the --tail option. For example, docker logs --tail 100 <container_id> will show the last 100 lines.
