Add Monitoring

Beszel shows the server’s health. Dozzle gives you a live, searchable view of Docker logs.

Add Beszel

In Dockhand, create an internal stack named beszel with this Compose file, then deploy it:

services:
  beszel:
    image: henrygd/beszel:latest
    container_name: beszel
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      APP_URL: http://localhost:8090
    ports:
      - "8090:8090"
    volumes:
      - ./beszel_data:/beszel_data
      - ./beszel_socket:/beszel_socket
  beszel-agent:
    image: henrygd/beszel-agent:latest
    container_name: beszel-agent
    restart: unless-stopped
    network_mode: host
    volumes:
      - ./beszel_agent_data:/var/lib/beszel-agent
      - ./beszel_socket:/beszel_socket
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
    environment:
      LISTEN: /beszel_socket/beszel.sock
      HUB_URL: http://localhost:8090
      TOKEN: REPLACE_AFTER_ADDING_SYSTEM
      KEY: REPLACE_AFTER_ADDING_SYSTEM

Open http://CONTAINER-IP:8090, create the admin account, and choose Add System. Use /beszel_socket/beszel.sock for Host / IP. Copy the generated token and key into the matching values in Dockhand’s stack editor, redeploy the stack, then finish adding the system. It should turn green.

Add Dozzle

Create an internal stack named dozzle, paste this file, and deploy it:

services:
  dozzle:
    image: amir20/dozzle:latest
    container_name: dozzle
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "8888:8080"
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
      - ./data:/data

Open http://CONTAINER-IP:8888. Add Beszel and Dozzle to Heimdall with their URLs.

You now have Proxmox, a lightweight Debian container, Docker, a dashboard, health monitoring, and live logs—and you have proved you can undo a mistake. Take one final snapshot, and make snapshot before every experiment your homelab habit.
