By default, the log file /tmp/letsencrypt-log/letsencrypt.log isn't exposed outside the Docker container.
When you know the id of the Docker container (you can find it using docker ps),
then you can enter the docker container using:

docker exec -it <CONTAINER ID> /bin/bash

Now you can open the log file using:

less /tmp/letsencrypt-log/letsencrypt.log

You can scroll up and down using arrow keys, Page Up and Page Down. You can quit less (a file viewer) using the key q.

The content of the log file should help you narrow down the problem.
