What you get

Multiple servers

Prod, staging, homelab. Save them all and switch without retyping credentials.

Live logs

Tail stdout/stderr over WebSocket. Same feed as the web UI.

Container controls

Start, stop, restart, delete, only if your DockLog user is allowed to.

Host metrics

CPU and memory charts on the server. 1H to 24H ranges.

Docker events

Get a notification when a container stops, dies, or fails a health check.

App lock

Optional PIN or biometrics. Credentials stored in Keychain / Keystore.

Shell access, log filters, and advanced connection settings (TLS skip, custom headers) are in the app too. Full docs.

Getting started

  1. 1

    Run a DockLog server

    Pull the image and start the server on a host with Docker socket access. Full guide in server setup.

  2. 2

    Confirm it works in a browser

    Open your DockLog URL on a laptop and sign in, or try the live demo (demo / Demo@1106). If the web UI works, the native app will too.

  3. 3

    Install the client app

    Android via Google Play. Windows and Linux via direct download below. amd64 builds from GitHub Releases.

  4. 4

    Add your server in the app

    Open the app, choose "Connect Server", paste your base URL (e.g. https://docklog.example.com:8888), and sign in.

  5. 5

    Tail logs and manage containers

    Dashboard lists running and stopped workloads with live CPU and memory. Open a container for the log stream.

Behind nginx or Cloudflare?

Forward /api and /ws, enable WebSocket upgrades, and use HTTPS in production. On the server, set TRUST_PROXY=true and add your public URL to ALLOWED_ORIGINS. In the app, Advanced Settings covers self-signed certs and Cloudflare Access headers.

Common questions

Do I need a DockLog server first?

You can try the public demo at https://demo.docklog.dev (demo / Demo@1106) without installing anything. For your own workloads, host DockLog with aimldev/docklog:latest and connect the app to your URL.

Can I try the app without self-hosting?

Yes. Use the live demo at https://demo.docklog.dev with username demo and password Demo@1106. Install the native app, add that URL under Connect Server, and sign in.

Is there a macOS app?

Not yet. On Mac, use the web dashboard in your browser. Native clients are available for Android, Windows, and Linux (amd64).

What server version do I need?

Native app v1.0.1 works with DockLog server v1.0.0 or newer. Match versions when possible. See GitHub Releases for notes.

Why won't logs stream?

Usually a reverse-proxy issue: /api and /ws need WebSocket upgrade headers. Self-signed TLS? Use Advanced Settings in the app. Full fixes in app docs troubleshooting.

Good to know

  • The app only talks to servers you add. No DockLog cloud account, no data sent to us.
  • Logins are saved on your device. Container logs stay on your server.
  • Phone on Wi‑Fi? Use your server's LAN IP (e.g. http://192.168.1.100:8888), not localhost.
  • HTTPS is recommended for any server reachable outside your LAN. HTTP is fine on a trusted home network.
  • No macOS or iOS native app yet. Mac users: use the web dashboard.
