Logs And Diagnostics

Runtime logs live in ~/.local/state/hb.

Common log files:

  • hexbox-readiness.log
  • hexbox-idle.log
  • init-debug.log
  • hexbox-bridge.out.log
  • hexbox-bridge.err.log

Use the helper to read the most important logs:

hb logs readiness
hb logs bridge
hb logs bridge-out
hb logs boot
hb logs idle

These logs are usually the fastest way to determine whether a failure is in:

  • Apple container runtime startup
  • guest init/bootstrap
  • SSH readiness
  • bridge/proxy relay behavior
