What DockLog does

• Live log streaming over WebSockets (stdout/stderr)
• RBAC — per-user container patterns (wildcards and regex)
• Audit log — logins, container actions, shell use, admin changes
• Host and container metrics — live stats plus ~30 days of history in SQLite
• Container actions — start, stop, restart, remove, optional shell (permission-gated)
• Small footprint — typically ~30–50 MB RAM, single container

Deploy options

Method	When to use
docker run	Fastest try on one host
Docker Compose	Persistent config and upgrades

Compose example and env reference: docklog.dev/docs#configuration

Interactive builder (Compose or docker run): docklog.dev/#config-builder

Production checklist

1. Set a strong SECRET_KEY (openssl rand -base64 32)
2. Set ENV=production
3. Keep CLIENT_ACCESS=strict
4. Run behind HTTPS (Nginx, Traefik, or Caddy)
5. Set TRUST_PROXY=true and ALLOWED_ORIGINS to your public URL
6. Change the default admin password immediately
