Configuration
Details on using the Seq Docker container
If you haven't yet read Getting Started with Docker, we recommend you start there first.
Important environment variables
The datalust/seq container can be configured using the following environment variables, passed on the Docker command line as -e NAME=VALUE:
Name | Description | Example value | Default value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Set to |
|
|
| The base URI that Seq will use when generating links back to the Seq server (optional; generally required for OIDC login, alert notifications, and Kubernetes ingress support) |
|
Setting an initial administrator username and password
A default password for the admin account can be passed through the SEQ_FIRSTRUN_ADMINPASSWORD environment variable, or using the --default-admin-password-stdin argument.
The admin account's username can be overridden with the SEQ_FIRSTRUN_ADMINUSERNAME environment variable.
The default when no password is supplied is to not enable authentication.
This step can only be performed the very first time the container is started. SettingSEQ_FIRSTRUN_*after this will have no effect.
Full list of supported options
The datalust/seq container supports the full range of options documented in the Server Configuration reference.
Options can be specified using the SEQ_* family of environment variables, the config set and secret set commands, or recorded directly in Seq.json under the mounted data volume.
