Docker Container Logger

This Bash script keeps you from running repetitive Docker commands when you are trying to troubleshoot or view the logs of a Docker container in realtime.

Usage

Place the script in your usr/bin/ directory to be able to just run it independent of the directory you are in or place it in your desired location and give it the execute permission:

chmod +x dlog.sh 
cp dlog.sh /usr/bin/dlog

Start the logger with the name of the target container :

dlog postgres

Then start the container with docker-compose or docker command and you will be able to see the assigned IP address, port mappings and the container logs.
