SSH into your server

See what's running (and what's crashed).
docker ps -a
# Good luck remembering which container is which
# CONTAINER ID IMAGE STATUS
# a1b2c3d4e5f6 myapp:v1.2.3 Up 2 days
# f6e5d4c3b2a1 myapp:v1.2.2 Exited (1) 3 days agoCheck container logs
Dig through logs to find errors.
docker logs container_name --tail 500
# Scroll through 500 lines of unformatted text
# grep for errors manuallyNo syntax highlighting, no search, no filtering.
Restart a container
Stop and start the container manually.
docker compose stop app
docker compose start app
# Or the nuclear option:
docker compose down && docker compose up -dRollback to previous version
Hope you tagged your images properly.
# First, find the old image
docker images | grep myapp
# Edit docker-compose.yml to use old tag
nano docker-compose.yml
# Change image: myapp:latest to myapp:v1.2.2
docker compose up -dIf you didn't tag versions... good luck.
