Python Logger Docker/Kubectl Logs Workaround

docker logs -f <container> & kubectl logs -f <pod name> stream the stdout of the PID 1 process running on the container. If you have a script that writes to stdout but is not running under the PID 1 process, you will not see logs for them. This repo has a workaround example, basically a Python script that logs to PID 1's stdout.

Build & Run Docker Container

# build
docker build -t test:latest .

# run
docker run -d --name testing test:latest

Running Python Logger Script

# shell
docker exec -it testing bash

# run script
python3 /usr/local/bin/logtest.py

# log output
docker logs -f testing
