New here? Jump to Getting Started to run it in under a minute.
Stream logs from running containers with instant updates. Live CPU, memory, and network metrics with historical visualizations.
Run as a standalone server, a Swarm deployment, a Kubernetes install, or with remote agents across multiple hosts.
Automatic JSON detection and color coding, multi-line stack-trace grouping, filters, and an embedded SQL engine for ad-hoc queries.
Monitor containers across multiple Docker hosts from one UI. See agents.
Attach or exec into running containers from the browser. See Shell Access.
Start, stop, restart, and update containers directly from the UI. See Actions.
Define log patterns that trigger notifications to Slack, Discord, email, and more. See Alerts and Webhooks.
Run open, or layer in simple or forward-proxy auth with role-based access control.
Go backend, Vue 3 frontend, streaming over SSE and WebSocket — minimal resource footprint.
Dozzle is MIT-licensed and actively maintained.
