Location of docker logs in Ubuntu Linux Mint

Question

I am able to find my application logs using docker logs --follow containerId

But which is the physical location of these logs? I used this link, But nothing is useful: Where is the Docker daemon log?

Thanks, Harry

Those aren't the docker daemon logs. Those are normally stored in JSON files unless otherwise specified by the driver you select for logging.

They're normally stored in : /var/lib/docker/containers/<container id>/<container id>-json.log

But you can verify with docker inspect <container> | grep LogPath

Is it possible to configure our own docker log path ? – Harry Apr 26 '18 at 11:43
I don't believe so, but I would check the documentation with Docker – Dockstar Apr 26 '18 at 18:45

Docker native command to find log location for any container docker inspect --format={{.LogPath}} <ContainerName>

ContainerId can also be used if needed to
