Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/3648

I wondering if anyone else is having difficulty finding the letsencrypt logs in the latest version? Trying to find them at /tmp/letsencrypt-log/letsencrypt.log inside the container and they don't exist. I've also added:

./letsencrypt-logs:/tmp/letsencrypt-log

to my docker-compose.yml and nothing gets generated there. After having issues with certificate renewal in the past I like to have access to this log file in case something breaks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

@mshorey I am using jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest docker image. Note the name of the container under the NAMES column with command sudo docker container ls. Mine is called npm. I can view the logs with this command:

sudo docker exec -i -t npm cat /tmp/letsencrypt-log/letsencrypt.log
