# Private Log Viewer

Protect your container logs with password authentication using [Dozzle](https://github.com/amir20/dozzle). This inline Docker Compose configuration requires no external files or volume mounts.

## Implementation Steps

1. **Generate Authentication Credentials**

   On your local machine, generate a Dozzle user configuration with escaped dollar signs for Docker Compose:

   ```bash theme={"system"}
   docker run --rm amir20/dozzle generate \
     --name "Admin Name" \
     --email admin@example.com \
     --password secret \
     admin | sed 's/\$/\$\$/g'
   ```

   This creates login credentials (username: `admin`, password: `secret`) with automatic `$` escaping for Docker Compose. The output is ready to paste directly into your configuration.

2. **Configure Dozzle in Docker Compose**

   Copy the output from step 1 and paste it into your docker-compose.yml:

   ```yaml theme={"system"}
   services:
     dozzle:
       container_name: dozzle
       image: amir20/dozzle:latest
       environment:
         - DOZZLE_AUTH_PROVIDER=simple
       volumes:
         - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
       configs:
         - source: dozzle_users
           target: /data/users.yml
       ports:
         - 8080:8080

   configs:
     dozzle_users:
       content: |
         # Paste the output from step 1 here
         users:
             admin:
                 email: admin@example.com
                 name: Admin Name
                 password: $$2a$$11$$JXzfhhgeNnFME75XzGTxKu46K2KI4OAjEL18HodilKkiBIQt8w9ka
                 filter: ""
   ```

   The `configs` directive embeds the authentication data directly in docker-compose.yml without needing external files or additional containers.

3. **Access Protected Logs**

   Once deployed on Phala Cloud, Dozzle will be accessible at:

   ```
   https://{app-id}-8080.dstack-{node-name}.phala.network
   ```

   Replace `{app-id}` with your App ID and `{node-name}` with your deployment target. You can also find the endpoint in your CVM's **View Details > Network > Endpoint** section.

   Log in with the secrets (or whatever you set in step 1):

   * **Username:** `admin`
   * **Password:** `secret`

   Only authorized users with valid credentials can view your container logs.

<Tip>
  For production environments with advanced requirements, consider using the Loki and Grafana stack for centralized log aggregation, querying, and visualization.
