About Dozzle
Dozzle is a lightweight, open source log viewer for Docker, Swarm and Kubernetes. It streams container logs and stats to your browser in real time, without a separate database.
What it does
Dozzle shows logs from running containers as they are written, along with live resource stats. You can search logs, query them with SQL and see the state of each container at a glance. It can also schedule safe container updates. Access is through a web interface that supports GitHub or OIDC sign-in, and it runs as a single binary, so logs stay on your own network when you self-host.
Key features
- Live streaming of container logs
- Live resource stats for containers
- SQL queries over log data
- Scheduled and safe container updates
- Sign-in with GitHub or OIDC
Who it's for
Homelab users and developers who run Docker containers and want to watch logs without setting up a full logging stack. Small teams that manage containers on a few hosts will also find it quick to set up.
Pricing and good to know
Dozzle is licensed under MIT and is available on GitHub, so the self-hosted version is free. A cloud version is also offered on the website. Because it is built for live viewing, it is best suited to troubleshooting and day-to-day checks rather than long-term log retention.
Highlights
- Live streaming of container logs
- Live CPU and memory stats per container
- SQL queries over log data
