Container Names

Container Names

By default, Dozzle retrieves container names directly from Docker. This is usually sufficient, as these names can be customized using the --name flag in docker run commands or through the container_name field in Docker Compose services.

Custom Names

In cases where modifying the container name itself isn't possible, you can override it by adding a dev.dozzle.name label to your container.

Here is an example using Docker Compose or Docker CLI:

::: code-group

docker run --label dev.dozzle.name=hello hello-world

services:
  dozzle:
    image: hello-world
    labels:
      - dev.dozzle.name=hello
