DockLog is a self-hosted Docker observability platform for developers, DevOps teams, and homelab enthusiasts. Monitor containers in real time, stream logs instantly, manage Docker workloads, and track host resources from a web dashboard, desktop app, or Android app. Features include container lifecycle management, RBAC, audit logs, multi-server support, and lightweight deployment using a single Docker container.

The staging/prod-on-one-host case is exactly where docker.sock dashboards get uncomfortable for me. If a user is blocked by allowed_containers, is that enforced on the log WebSocket/API side too, or is it mostly a UI visibility rule?
DockLog
@novamaker01 Yes, it's enforced on the backend as well. allowed_containers is not just a UI visibility filter. API endpoints and log WebSocket streams validate container permissions before returning data, so users cannot bypass restrictions by calling the API directly.
I love the focus on simplicity. As someone who values local-first tools, I know how heavy full logging stacks can get for a homelab or small team. The fact that it has mobile apps is a huge plus for on-the-go monitoring. Does it support multi-server aggregation out of the box, or is that per-server?
DockLog
@diana_nadim2 Yes, in the mobile app (and desktop clients) you can add multiple DockLog servers and manage them from one place.
Save prod, staging, homelab, or client instances, switch between them, and tail logs / check containers on whichever server you pick without setting everything up again each time.
Each server still runs its own DockLog instance on that host (one Docker engine per server). The app doesn’t merge every host into a single combined dashboard yet you manage multiple servers, one connection at a time.
