Go library to parse the binary Docker Logs stream into plain text.

dlog offers a single method: NewReader(r io.Reader) io.Reader. You are supposed to give the response body of the /containers/<id>/logs. The returned reader strips off the log headers and just gives the plain text to be used.

Here is how a log line from container looks like in the the raw docker logs stream:

01 00 00 00 00 00 00 1f 52 6f 73 65 73 20 61 72  65 ...
│  ─────┬── ─────┬─────  R  o  s  e  s     a  r   e ...
│       │        │
└stdout │        │
        │        └─ 0x0000001f = log message is 31 bytes
      unused

You can get the logs stream from go-dockerclient's Logs() method, or by calling the container logs endpoint direclty via the UNIX socket directly.

See example_test.go for an example usage.

This library is written in vanilla Go and has no external dependencies.
