I’m getting an error reponse from medic API running on localhost docker via [these steps](https://docs.communityhealthtoolkit.org/core/guides/docker-setup/) from [local setup](https://docs.communityhealthtoolkit.org/apps/tutorials/local-setup/). I want to understand this server-side error and so I think I should check the medic-api logs.

How do I access the medic-api logs inside the docker container?
