# DockLog
> Self-hosted Docker and Kubernetes log viewer and admin dashboard. One container mounts the Docker socket (and optionally kubeconfig) and streams stdout/stderr over WebSockets with optional multi-user RBAC, audit logging, host metrics, workload actions, webhook notifications (Slack, Teams, Discord, custom HTTPS), and intelligent alert rules for logs, Docker events, Kubernetes events, and metrics. Native companion apps (Android, Windows, Linux) connect to servers you host. Open source (MIT).
DockLog is not a hosted SaaS. You run `aimldev/docklog:latest` on your infrastructure. Typical RAM use is ~30–50 MB. Auth mode uses SQLite for users, RBAC, and audits; no-auth mode can run without a persistent database.
Default bootstrap credentials on a fresh server: `admin` / `admin123` (change on first login).
