Show HN: Log Bull – a simple log collection system for developers (Docker-based)

1 points by rostislav_dugin 8 months ago · 0 comments · 1 min read

I built Log Bull because ELK/Loki/Graylog felt heavy for small services and side projects. I wanted something you can deploy fast, point your app at a single HTTP endpoint, and immediately search logs in a clean UI.

What it is: minimal log collection system + search UI focused on developer ergonomics. There are libraries for Java, Go, Python, JavaScript, C#, PHP.

Usage examples and playground are placed on the website - https://logbull.com.

Features: - per-project isolation (within single instance); - API keys; - optional domain/IP filtering limits; - retention settings; - users management and audit logs.

Deployment is made via Docker or via .sh script.

Tech stack: Go backend + React UI, PostgreSQL as DB, OpenSearch for storage/search, Valkey for caching and rate limiting.

The project is open source under Apache 2.0 license.
