CLI Machines Docker Compose Logs

`ed machines docker compose logs`

Streams the logs of every container in a compose project.

ed machines docker compose logs [--tail <n>] [--follow] <machine> <project>

Arguments

Name	Type / values	Default	What it does
`<machine>`	machine name, ssh alias, id, or any unambiguous prefix	required	Which machine to ask.
`<project>`	compose project name, exactly as `compose ls` prints it	required	Whose logs to stream.

Options

Name	Type / values	Default	What it does
`--tail`	integer, 0 or more	`200`	How many trailing lines to show, per service.
`--follow`, `-f`	flag	off	Keep streaming until interrupted.
`--help`, `-h`	flag	off	Print the help for this command on stdout and exit 0.

There is no --json, and unlike ed machines docker logs there are no timestamps: compose prefixes each line with the service name instead.

Examples

ed machines tuf docker compose logs noveum-local-db
ed machines tuf docker compose logs noveum-local-db --tail 20
ed machines tuf docker compose logs noveum-local-db --tail 0 --follow

Behaviour notes

The remote command is docker compose -p <project> logs --tail <n> [-f], after the same project check the other compose verbs make, so an unlisted project exits 3 before anything streams. --tail is validated first and a negative value exits 2.

Like ed machines docker logs, this is a passthrough: stdout and stderr stay separate, there is no timeout, and the remote exit code becomes yours.
