Dozzle Deployment

This repository contains the deployment configuration for Dozzle, a real-time, responsive log viewer for Docker containers. It provides a lightweight web interface to monitor container logs without needing to access the CLI.

🏗️ Architecture Overview

• Service: Dozzle (Real-time Log Viewer)
• Networking: Integrated into the web_traffic external network to allow access via your reverse proxy.
• Security: Mounts the Docker socket in read-only mode to stream logs to the dashboard.
• CI/CD: Automated deployment via Woodpecker CI on every push to the main branch.

📂 Repository Structure

• docker-compose.yaml: Defines the Dozzle service and ensures it has access to /var/run/docker.sock.
• .woodpecker.yaml: Handles the automated deployment to the host server directory.

🚀 Deployment

Manual Setup

Ensure the web_traffic network exists before launching the stack:

docker network create web_traffic
docker compose up -d

CI/CD Workflow

The Woodpecker pipeline automates the following on every push:

• Ensures the deployment directory /home/george/dozzle exists on the host.
• Syncs the repository files to the server.
• Executes a docker compose up -d with --pull always and --force-recreate to ensure the dashboard is running the latest version.

🛠️ Usage

Once deployed and configured in your reverse proxy (e.g., Caddy), you can view all running container logs through the web UI. Dozzle does not store any logs; it simply streams them directly from the Docker daemon.
