# Viewing Docker logs
|
|
|
|
## View logs from outside of container
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker logs <container_name> OR <container_id>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To view the logs in realtime, apend `-f` for `--follow`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
docker logs -f <container_name> OR <container_id>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## View logs from within the container
|
|
|
|
For example, to view nginx logs, first
|
|
[enter into the container](./Enter_into_a_Docker_container.md) and then:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cat /var/log/nginx/access.log
|
|
cat /var/log/nginx/error.log
|
|
```
