Accessing Logs

Lando has a few different log layers to help you diagnose any issues you might be having.

Install Logs

If you have a failed installation, you should be able to find logs in the following locations...

• Windows - %TEMP%\Setup Log**.txt
• macOS - /var/log/install.log
• Linux - Differs per system but check common apt or dnf/yum logs

Runtime Logs

If you encounter an error during runtime, check out the runtime logs at...

• macOS/LINUX - ~/.lando/logs
• Windows - C:\Users\{ME}\.lando\logs

There should be core lando logs called lando-error.log and a more robust lando.log. There should also be error and verbose logs associated with each of your applications eg myapp.log and myapp-error.log.

TIP

Run the failing command again in verbose mode. You can pass in -v, -vv, -vvv or -vvvv to toggle the level of verbosity. You can also edit your global config to set the default console log level.

Container Logs

lando logs -s SOME_SERVICE

See the lando logs command for more information.

Advanced Troubleshooting

One of the best ways to troubleshoot an issue is to use Docker commands directly or use the lando ssh or lando info --deep command.

# List all my containers
docker ps --all

# List all lando containers
docker ps --filter label=io.lando.container=TRUE --all

# List all containers for a particular app
docker ps --all | grep appname

# Inspect a container
docker inspect appname_service_1

# Check out the logs for a container
docker logs appname_service_1

# Attach to a container (this is like SSHing)
docker exec -i -t appname_service_1 bash
