How to monitor an nginx instance running in docker, with ngxtop running on the host (my mac)?

The official Nginx Docker image does a redirection of access.log to /Dev/stdout, so that one can access the log with docker log from outside docker on the host. This is an issue because then from within the docker container i can't access access.log.
I finally resorted to install nginx on my mac and perform the following command
docker logs -f competent_edison &>> ~/Dev/monitoring/access.log
While the redirection works fine and the access.log on my mac, mirror the output of the container in realtime, ngxtop output nothing when i pass that file as parameter: ngnix -l ~/Dev/monitoring/access.log
I wonder if there is a way for ngxtop to be installed on an host, to monitor an nginx running in a container.
Please any indication would be helpful as i spend 2 days around that and can't figure out how to deal with it.
