  @arichtman @lina@vt.social Yeah if memory serves me well, if you reconfigure the logger to output container logs to journald, it's pretty swell; except you have to use journalctl to consume these logs then. In an ideal scenario, the Docker "logging drivers" would not only have a sink (where should logs go?) but also a query interface, so that "docker logs" (and the Docker API) lets you access them; but... many logging systems don't support real-time streaming with a low enough latency; so I think that discouraged people from tackling this issue. Back to @lina's point, though, she's right that the status quo sucks; I hope this can and will be changed eventually, like many other quirks of Docker (e.g. the "version:" field in Compose files, the way Compose used to handle env vars, ... just a couple of examples off the top of my head)
