container

Overview ¶

Package container follows Docker Engine API logs through a unix socket. DOCKER_HOST selects a unix socket; when unset, /var/run/docker.sock is used. A Podman Docker-compatible socket can be used with Runtime set to "podman". Containerd's native API and TTY streams are not supported.

FollowOptions.Container selects an ID or name, Since bounds the start time, Tail passes Docker's tail value, and Follow keeps the stream open. Emit is called synchronously for each line and should return promptly. Host defaults to the local hostname and Runtime defaults to "docker". Lines reaching 64 KiB are emitted in chunks with the label truncated=true. Cancellation flushes partial lines and returns the unwrapped context error.
