Overview
Dozzle is useful for real-time Docker log viewing. Better-PaaS gives it a practical home on your own server with a one-click app workflow, domain routing, HTTPS, logs, and persistent storage habits.
Catalog image and ports
Better-PaaS deploys Dozzle from amir20/dozzle:v8 on container port 8080 with health checks against /.
- Image: amir20/dozzle:v8
- Port: 8080
- Volumes: /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
Production notes for this catalog app
Needs read-only Docker socket access to inspect container logs, so treat access to the app as sensitive.
Why host Dozzle with Better-PaaS
Better-PaaS is designed for apps like Dozzle: small services that need reliable routing, a domain, persistent data, and quick redeploys without manually editing reverse proxy files.
Deployment checklist
Before going live, decide the domain, persistent volume, backup cadence, and any environment variables Dozzle needs. For Dozzle, pay special attention to live container logs without giving every user SSH access.
- Choose the app catalog template or Docker image
- Add required environment variables
- Attach a persistent volume if data must survive redeploys
- Deploy and inspect logs
- Add a custom domain after the app is healthy
Operations after launch
Watch logs during the first deploy, confirm storage survives a redeploy, and include the app data in server backups. If the service exposes an admin area, use a strong password and restrict access where appropriate.
FAQ
Can Dozzle run with automatic HTTPS?
Yes. Add a domain in Better-PaaS after DNS points to the server and Caddy can issue a certificate.
Does Dozzle need persistent storage?
Most monitoring apps need some persistent storage or database plan. Treat app data and config as something to back up.
