Logs from custom app

[ekevu123]

I am running a custom python app on Cloudron and I am happy with that setup. However, I need better access to logs of what is happening and I am not really sure how to achieve that as I cannot save log files permanently inside the app. If I download the full logs from Cloudron, they only seem to give me access to the last 2 days or so.
Is there a good solution that would let me monitor what the app does, perhaps even a few days back?

I am open to everything, from improvised and easy-to-implement solutions up to third-party tools with GUI.

Hi @ekevu123,

since it is already a custom app, the easiest option is to redirect log output to a file below /app/data. Ideally your program should also rotate said log file.

Then they would still be overwritten with any app update, perhaps even at restart, wouldn't they? I think I need something a bit more permanent than that.

No, /app/data is persistent storage and would survive updates and restarts.
