Alternatives to Dozzle
A self-hosted web app for watching Docker, Swarm and Kubernetes container logs and stats live. The listings below can replace it for an important use case. Each note says what changes if you switch.
The original
Dozzle
A self-hosted web app for watching Docker, Swarm and Kubernetes container logs and stats live.
Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Dozzle.
Kubetail
A real-time logging dashboard for viewing Kubernetes container logs in a browser or terminal.
Kubetail follows container logs in a browser or terminal but only works with Kubernetes, so Docker and Swarm hosts are not covered.
lazydocker
A terminal dashboard for Docker and Compose, so you stop typing ps, logs and restart over and over.
lazydocker shows container logs and statistics in a terminal dashboard instead of a web app, and can also restart, stop, prune and shell into containers over SSH.
Portainer
Web interface for deploying and managing Docker and Kubernetes workloads.
Portainer is a fuller web console for Docker, Swarm and Kubernetes that also deploys stacks, but role-based access control and some fleet features need the paid Business Edition.
dry
Terminal dashboard for Docker containers, images and Swarm services.
dry is a terminal dashboard for Docker containers, images and Swarm services with stats and logs, but upstream activity is sparse and it has no Kubernetes support.
Also worth comparing
These listings name Dozzle as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.
cAdvisor
A daemon that collects and analyzes resource usage and performance data for running containers.
Dozzle shows live container CPU and memory stats alongside container logs in a web app, but stores no history and needs Docker socket access.
Stern
A command-line tool that tails logs from many Kubernetes pods and containers at once.
Dozzle is a self-hosted web app for live Docker, Swarm and Kubernetes logs with regex and SQL search, but does not store log history.

ctop
Watch container resource use in a terminal dashboard.
Pulse
A self-hosted monitoring dashboard for Proxmox, Docker, Kubernetes, TrueNAS and vSphere with alerting.
Arcane

Dockhand
