Logs

Logs are the first place to check when something is not behaving correctly.

Docker logs

docker compose logs -f printbuddy

For a shorter recent view:

docker compose logs --tail=200 printbuddy

Container log volume

The default compose file mounts:

/app/logs

into the printbuddy_logs Docker volume.

What to look for

• Startup errors.
• Database migration errors.
• Printer connection failures.
• HTTP status errors from Moonraker, PrusaLink, or camera URLs.
• Authentication or permission errors.
• Repeated reconnect loops.

Sharing logs

Never paste secrets. Redact:

• Printer access codes.
• API tokens.
• Passwords.
• Cloud tokens.
• SMTP/MQTT credentials.
