Monitor & Manage Docker Containers with Telegram Bot & AI Log Analysis

Monitor and manage Docker containers from Telegram with AI log analysis

This workflow gives you a smart Telegram command center for your homelab. It lets you monitor Docker containers, get alerts the moment something fails, view logs, and restart services remotely. When you request logs, they're automatically analyzed by an LLM so you get a clear, structured breakdown instead of raw terminal output.
