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 |
---|---|---|---|
ACCEPT_EULA | Set to Y to indicate acceptance of the Seq End User License Agreement | Y | N |
SEQ_API_CANONICALURI | 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) | https://seq.example.com/ |
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. Setting
SEQ_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.
