Get&Start The Logger Docker Container 🏃

This document aims to install and configure the Logger software in a basic way. This process is done through a docker container. When you run the following command, a container named Logger-Setup will stand up and perform all the setup operations at the most basic level. It will then self-destruct.

$docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock samyoune/samet-setup

Verify ✅

Verify the Installation. Ensure that your containers are running correctly. To view the status of your containers, run the following command:

 docker ps

The output should look similar to the following:
