## What it is
DockMon is a self-hosted Docker container monitoring and management platform with a real-time dashboard, live metrics, container logs, and event auditing. It adds intelligent auto-restart, multi-channel alerting, multi-host support via a lightweight Go agent, stack deployment, and automatic container image updates.

## Use cases
- monitor docker containers across multiple hosts
- auto-restart crashed containers with retry logic
- get discord or telegram alerts when containers go down
- view live container logs and cpu memory stats
- deploy docker compose stacks from a web dashboard
- auto-update container images on a schedule
- self-hosted docker dashboard with sso login

## When to choose
- you run containers on multiple docker hosts and want one dashboard
- you need alerting plus automatic restart policies beyond docker's built-in restart
- you want oidc/sso and rbac for a shared ops team
- you prefer a self-hosted alternative to portainer-style management with monitoring focus

## When to avoid
- you need kubernetes or swarm monitoring - it is docker-only
- you require an osi-approved open-source license - it uses BSL 1.1
- you only need simple metrics scraping - prometheus-based stacks may fit better

## Facets
- artifact type: application
