docker logs and docker inspect in an easy to use GUI darklens allows you to access your container logs and configs without SSH access. You can track your containerized services in a centralized UI. darklens' agent is easy to set up with 3 simple steps.
Hey all! 👋
Let us introduce you to our new tool, darklens, which is a lightweight container viewer.
We were kind of annoyed by how we weren't able to access our containers to see logs in an instant. Docker commands are fine, but you need to SSH into the server to be able to do it, and manually specify which container you'd like to check out.
To save some time, we made darklens. You can use it to check your containers without using SSH keys, entering Docker commands ("oh, shoot, the container I was curious about had - and not _ in it, let's fix that typo and waste 4 more seconds") in the terminal, and trying to figure out container configs in unreadable JSON data.
Check out darklens GitHub to try it. It's free.

Happy to answer any questions about darklens! In the meantime, a brief FAQ:
- Is darklens free to use and open-source?
Yes and yes.
- What platform does it support?
Docker.
- What makes it special compared to other container managers?
The agent is easy to set up on your infra. The tool is designed to be easy to use with quick on-boarding.
