How to run Docker in debug mode and view container logs?

1. Execute the Docker events command:

docker events &

By this point, any Docker command that you’ll run next will be viewed with more logs.

2. Execute your Docker command (for example: run a container or create an image):

docker container run -d --name nginx-r-p-container --publish 80:80 nginx-reverse-proxy:latest

3. Check the logs of the Docker instance ID that concerns you:

docker logs 250629587af532239d8b165e924f9217134cf662a5ba1ce0855c55f70e152f63

In my case above, I forgot to close my code block with “}”. Thus, the container didn’t run. And that’s how you can use Docker in debug mode.
