Hi everyone,

As a homelabber running Home Assistant alongside several Docker containers, I always found it slightly annoying to have to open Portainer, SSH, or a separate terminal just to check on a container’s logs when debugging something.

To solve this, I built Docker Lens, a lightweight HACS integration that lets you view your Docker container logs in real-time, directly from your Home Assistant dashboard.

Key Features:

  • Real-time log streaming.
  • Live search/filtering to quickly find errors or specific events.
  • Clean, customizable UI matching your HA theme.
  • Completely local control.

How to install:

  1. Add [https://github.com/Anrolosia/docker_lens](https://github.com/Anrolosia/docker_lens) as a Custom Repository in HACS (Integration) or directly search for docker lens in HACS.
  2. Download & enjoy!

It’s still quite new, so I’d love to get your feedback, feature requests, or bug reports. Hope some of you find it useful for your homelabs!
