title: Tail docker logs to see recent records, not all
body: <p>If you use the Coreutils tail command in Linux, you have a -f option that lets you follow a log file from the log's current position (it does not go to the very beginning of the file and display everything).</p>
  <p>Is this functionality available in docker logs without waiting for it to traverse the whole log?</p>
  <p>I have tried:</p>
  <pre><code>docker logs --since 1m somecontainer
  </code></pre>
  <p>and</p>
  <pre><code>docker logs -f --since 1m somecontainer
  </code></pre>
  <p>It appears that it actually traverses the entire log file (which can take a long time) and then starts echoing to the screen once it reaches the time frame you specify.</p>
  <p>Is there a way to start tailing from the current point without waiting?
  Is my best option to always log out to some external file and tail that with the Coreutils tail command?</p>
