To view the logs of a Docker container, you can use the following command:

  1. List all containers, including stopped ones.
  2. Find the container ID of which you want to view the logs.
  3. Show logs of the container with the specified ID.

If the container fails to start, there may be some error messages recorded in the log, which can help you locate the problem by viewing the log.
