Container Actions

Docker Only

Dozzle supports container actions, which allows you to start, stop, restart, remove, and update containers from the dropdown menu on the right next to the container stats. This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting the environment variable DOZZLE_ENABLE_ACTIONS to true.

The update action pulls the latest image for the container and recreates it with the same configuration — useful for upgrading a container in place without editing its compose file. update only has a meaningful effect when the image uses a moving tag (e.g. latest, stable); a pinned tag will simply re-pull the same image.

WARNING

remove and update recreate the container. Data written to anonymous volumes or the container's writable layer will be lost. Named volumes and bind mounts are preserved.

NOTE

Enabling actions also unlocks Compose Deployments when using Dozzle Cloud.
