Docker logging to Seq via GELF.

Setup

docker compose up -d

Important

SEQ_FIRSTRUN_NOAUTHENTICATION is set for local development -- if you want to setup something similar in a deployed environment, please use authentication.

Set the following in your Docker config / daemon.json:

{
  "log-driver": "gelf",
  "log-opts": {
    "gelf-address": "udp://127.0.0.1:12201"
  }
}

Apply and restart. See Seq running at localhost:5341.

Troubleshooting

If you don't see logs in Seq, try recreating containers so they pull in the new default logging settings you set above.
