Feature	DockLog
STOA Rating	5.0
Description	DockLog lets you tail Docker container logs, check CPU and memory stats, and manage containers — all from one self-hosted dashboard. You deploy a single container, mount the Docker socket, and you're reading live logs in under a minute. No Elasticsearch cluster, no log agents, no extra services required.
Strengths	•Extremely lightweight — runs on ~30MB RAM, comfortable on a small VPS •One-container setup means you're up and tailing logs in under a minute •Built-in RBAC lets you limit which team members see which containers without extra plugins •Your logs never leave your server — no third-party telemetry or data pipeline •MIT license means no licensing costs or vendor lock-in
Weaknesses	•Requires Docker and self-hosting skills — not a plug-and-play SaaS tool for non-technical owners •No log search, indexing, or long-term log retention built in — not a replacement for full observability stacks at scale •iOS companion app not yet available (Android and desktop only at v1.0.0) •Early-stage project with limited proven production traction
Key Features	•Stream live container logs (stdout and stderr) over WebSockets with autoscroll and timestamps •Monitor CPU and memory stats alongside your logs without a second tool •Start, stop, restart, and delete containers directly from the dashboard •Control access with built-in RBAC (role-based access control) using wildcards or regex rules •Run an optional in-browser terminal shell for containers when permissions allow •Deploy as a single Docker image using under 30MB of RAM
Pricing	Free tier available Free Tier
Best For	All industries
AI Features	None
Categories	Run Projects & OperationsUnderstand Your NumbersBuild & Connect
STOA Verdict	DockLog is built for small dev or platform teams that already run Docker and want a fast, no-fuss way to read container logs without standing up a full logging stack. You get live log streaming, host stats, and container controls in one lightweight dashboard — and your data stays on your own server. The tradeoff is that you need to be comfortable with Docker and self-hosting; this isn't a tool for non-technical business owners.
