some tips on docker logs

1. --follow or -f

   docker logs --follow <container-id>
   

2. --tail or -n

   docker logs --tail 100 <container-id>
   

3. --since

   docker logs --since 1h <container-id>
   

4. --timestamps

   docker logs --timestamps <container-id>
   

   This will add timestamps to each log entry.

5. --format

   docker logs --format '{{.Message}}' <container-id>
   

   This will display only the log messages, without any additional information.
