docker inspect --format='{{.State.Health.Status}}' CONTAINER_NAME

# View health check logs
docker inspect --format='{{range .State.Health.Log}}{{.Output}}{{end}}' CONTAINER_NAME

🚨 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Service won't start

• Check Docker logs: docker-compose logs service-name
• Verify port availability: netstat -tulpn | grep PORT
• Check file permissions on mounted volumes

Can't access web interface

• Verify service is running: docker-compose ps
• Check firewall settings
• Confirm correct port mapping

Performance issues

• Monitor resource usage: docker stats
• Check available disk space: df -h
• Review service logs for errors

Useful Commands

# Check service status
docker-compose ps

# View real-time logs
docker-compose logs -f app

# Restart service
docker-compose restart app

# Update service
docker-compose pull app
