First, run this command in your terminal:

docker ps

There will be no output if no containers are running. Next, run this:

docker ps -a

This will show all containers, including stopped ones. You should see something like this:

|  Container ID   |    Image    |   Status   |
| :------------:  | :----------:| :--------: |
|  48bab7f673b3   | hello-world |   Exited   |

Take note of the container ID because you’ll need it for the next step.

Now, replace the ID in the command below with your container’s ID and run it:

docker logs 48bab7f673b3

This command shows the same output as when you first ran the container. In real-world scenarios, you’ll use this to check the output of running containers like web servers or other services running in the background.
