## Logs

To see information about the running Nx Daemon (such as its background process ID and log output file), run `nx daemon`. Once you have the path to that log file, you could either open it in your IDE or stream updates in a separate terminal window by running `tail -f {REPLACE_WITH_LOG_PATH}`, for example.

## Customizing the socket location

The Nx Daemon uses a unix socket to communicate between the daemon and the Nx processes. By default this socket gets placed in a temp directory. If you are using Nx in a docker-compose environment, however, you may want to run the daemon manually
and control its location to enable sharing the daemon among your docker containers. To do so, simply set the NX_DAEMON_SOCKET_DIR environment variable to a shared directory.
