How do I troubleshoot Docker container issues?

I'm having trouble with my Docker container. It keeps crashing. What should I do?

First, check the logs of the container using docker logs <container_id>. This will give you insights into why it's crashing.

I checked the logs, and it says there's a missing dependency. How can I fix that?

You can update your Dockerfile to include the missing dependency and then rebuild the image using docker build -t <image_name> ..

What if the dependency is not available in the base image?

In that case, you might need to switch to a different base image that includes the dependency or install it manually in your Dockerfile.

Thanks! How can I ensure my container runs smoothly in the future?

Regularly update your images, monitor resource usage, and consider using health checks in your Docker configuration.
