Dozzle Has a Free Docker Log Viewer — Monitor All Containers in Real-Time

#docker #devops #opensource #monitoring

Dozzle is a lightweight, real-time Docker log viewer — see all your container logs in one beautiful UI.

What You Get for Free

  • Real-time streaming — logs appear instantly as they're written
  • All containers — one dashboard for every container on the host
  • Search & filter — find logs by container, text, or regex
  • Multi-host — monitor multiple Docker hosts from one UI
  • No database — Dozzle stores nothing, reads directly from Docker
  • Tiny footprint — 10MB RAM, zero CPU when idle
  • Authentication — built-in user auth for security
  • Dark mode — easy on the eyes for long debugging sessions

Quick Start 

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  amir20/dozzle:latest
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Open http://localhost:8080 — done. All container logs, streaming live.

Why Developers Switch from docker logs

docker logs only shows one container at a time:

  • All containers at once — no switching between terminals
  • Searchable — regex search across all logs
  • Persistent UI — bookmark and share the URL
  • Zero storage — unlike ELK/Loki, Dozzle uses 0 disk space

A DevOps engineer managing 40 containers on 3 hosts used to SSH into each server and run docker logs. With Dozzle: one URL, all containers, real-time. Setup took 60 seconds.
