To look at the log files inside a docker container, the command is "docker logs".
That worked. Specifically, I used "docker logs -f mastodon_web_1"
Your #terraform idea sounds cool. I'll be keeping a close eye on your repository.
Thanks @Spike .
Keep an eye on issues in that repo too, I'm going to do my best to pull the #devops related bits people are doing - like the Ubuntu "snap" work that mhall119 is working on in https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/1068 - keep all that stuff corralled together.
No code to share yet but when I do you'll know.
I'm doing in part because I really want portability to #arm64 but first you have to corral all of the dependencies.
