docker-autocompose VS dozzle

But there is this little tool docker-autocompose that can read the configuration of your current containers and export that into a docker-compose.yml. It probably wont work 100% perfect for every possible container config, but its worth a try and it might save a lot of time when making the switch from run to compose. Good luck!

You can try to use docker-autocompose to read the configs of your currently deployed containers and write them into a compose file for you.

There are different registries, Docker Hub, Quay (quay.io), GitHub (ghcr.io), Linuxserver (lscr.io). Then there is the image name and then the tag (//:; for example lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest). The tag and the registry won't matter too much for you (tag I guess you use latest), because most maintainers like Linuxserver push the same image to different registries. So it doesn't really matter if you use lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest or just linuxserver/plex:latest or ghcr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest. What does matter is if you use the linxserver or the plexinc image. If you run docker container ls in your terminal, you can see which image you are using. You could then run docker container inspect to get a json config of your plex container and volume mounts etc. to use that to create a docker compose file for it. There are also tools that do that automatically for you, like this: https://github.com/Red5d/docker-autocompose/blob/master/README.md This way, you can use docker compose to start/stop/update and have a permanent config which you can easily migrate to a new NAS/server.

Run this https://github.com/Red5d/docker-autocompose

Here is the link to docker-autocompose for those that might be able to help. https://github.com/Red5d/docker-autocompose

I converted existing docker run via https://www.composerize.com/ (since I had them written down in text file) , you can also use https://github.com/Red5d/docker-autocompose (examples on very bottom) to convert existing containers to YML file.

Dozzle, to centrally monitor the logs of my Dockers

At least for logs that are in json format i think https://github.com/amir20/dozzle is better but otherwise lazydocker is also pretty good 👍🏻

I only know this project https://dozzle.dev/, but i dont think they implemented a user based view.

Yay for dozzle.

For logging, you can run Dozzle, which will allow you to view the logs of each container on demand in a web page. It is highly regarded here in the sub and I use it all the time to troubleshoot things. If you have multiple monitors, run Dozzle in one window, then run the container, and see where it errors out and why it is causing the "refused to connect" message.

I have also updated dozzle.dev with documentation. You can see more details about remote host at https://dozzle.dev/guide/remote-hosts

If you use docker, I would recommend fizzle : https://dozzle.dev/ It works very well and is easy to install.
