Hi Product Hunt!
I'm Saurav, the creator of DockLog.
I built DockLog because I wanted a simpler way to monitor and manage Docker containers without setting up a full logging stack. In many small teams, homelabs, and self-hosted environments, tools can become overly complex when all you need is real-time visibility into what's happening inside your containers.
DockLog started as a lightweight log viewer and gradually evolved into a complete Docker observability platform with live log streaming, container management, RBAC, audit logs, multi-server support, and desktop and mobile apps.
My goal was to create something that is easy to deploy, lightweight on resources, and accessible from anywhere.
I'd love to hear your feedback:
• What features would you like to see next?
• What challenges do you face when monitoring Docker environments?
• How does DockLog fit into your workflow?
Thanks for checking out DockLog and supporting independent builders!
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?
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?
