   Can we access log files as it is? From host location?

   One can map log files from docker container to host files. for example,

     nginx:
       image: nginx:latest
       depends_on:
         - php
       restart: always
       ports:
         - "80:80"
       volumes:
         - "./wordpress:/var/www/html"
         - "./config/nginx/default.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf"
         - "./config/nginx/log/error.log:/var/log/nginx/error.log"
         - "./config/nginx/log/access.log:/var/log/nginx/access.log"

   Does docker logs exposes some magic?

   In docker logs command one can get log from specific container using container name or container id, like

   $ docker logs -f <container_id>/<container_name>
   

   Reference https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/logs/

   Also one can use docker-compose log to get logs from all services.

   In addition to what @vishaldodiya said, for docker-compose, we can see the logs from all containers using

   docker-compose logs -f
   

   with the -f flag for tail ing the logs.

   This is already added in the README.
