Reading downloaded logs from Quay.io

Quay is the container registry service sponsored by Red Hat inc. based on the projectquay.io free/open source project.

It supports also building images. One issue though is that logs are downloaded in a custom JSON format.

A simple example is:

> {"logs":[{"data":{"datetime":"2023-03-07 15:19:36.159268"},"message":"build-scheduled","type":"phase"}]}

In this short post I give you a very simple way to read those logs in terminal:

> jq -r '.logs[].message' < /tmp/98afc879-8ef1-4cc6-9425-cf5e77712a5f.json
