docker-compose up -d

Check the running containers

docker ps

# From git bash
winpty docker exec -it <container id> bash

#For other terminals
docker exec -it <container id> bash

Check tomcat logs

# change your current directory to logs
cd logs


# To check running logs 
# Note the log file will be displayed with date
tail -f catalina.***.log


# To check logs from the beginning of tomcat
cat catalina.***.log
