For example, I started my system: docker-compose up -d
And then I see logs in follow mode:
docker-compose logs -f
But if I stop system with docker-compose stop then my docker-compose logs -f will exit. Is there any way to "wait" until system starts?
It looks like, as of 2019, there's no way to do this.
docker/compose#2227 suggests that it's intentional that docker-compose logs -f exits once there are no more containers running:
if the log stream is done (the containers have stopped) logs should exit
I used to do it like this:
while true ; do docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml logs -f ; sleep 5 ; echo "Are you loopy?" ; done
However, due to a bug in docker(-compose), the docker-compose logs process currently does not return to prompt when a docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml down is invoked in a second terminal.
