The documentation for docker events
provides details, but when debugging it may be useful to launch a container and be notified immediately of any related event:
docker run... & docker events --filter 'container=$(docker ps -lq)'
In docker ps -lq
, the l
stands for last
, and the q
for quiet
. This removes the id
of the last container launched, and creates a notification immediately if the container dies or has another event occur.
