dozzle VS watchtower

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.

> if you're using the docker image, upgrades are a breeze. Just bump the tag on the image, redeploy, and you're done.

Or you could just run Watchtower beside it and it will automatically update your docker containers. https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower If you are OK with automated updates.

So i primarily use containers on my local machine walled off from the internet, so it's not a big concern for me. Watchtower [1] is popular among home server users too which automatically updates containers to the latest image.

For production uses I think companies generally build their own containers. They would have a common base linux container and build the other containers based off that with a typical CI/CD pipeline. So if glibc is patched, it's probably patched in the base container and the others are then rebuilt. You don't have to patch each container individually, just the base. Production also minimizes the scope of containers with nothing installed except what's necessary so they have few dependencies.

You can use Watchtower (https://containrrr.dev/watchtower/) that solves problem of manual pulling on VPS.

I checked https://containrrr.dev/watchtower/ and Arguments, but I don't understand where to attach that using portainer.

Again, there are options to automate some of the burden here by using tools such as Watchtower.

Have you ever deployed a Docker app on a server, but everytime you push a new version of your image to a Docker registry you need to manually restart your app? If you want to automate this restarting, this blog post is for you! I am now going to show you how you can do this with literally 1 simple command using Watchtower!
