Whats happening to development?

[markdesilva]

I was a happy user with the last version 0.3.4 before the rewrite and now I find that new version is not all that intuitive, documentation is non-existent, authentication has issues and there is no https (I think). All of which was available in the previous version. Are these going to be rectified anytime soon? I recall seeing a request for https a year ago. There used to be dozens of instructionals to install logio on various platforms for the old version and now I can't find anything for the rewritten version. Is this project completely dead? Is there something else thats just as good, not over complicated but not as left behind, with at least authentication and https working?

Thank you.

Anyway, for those who prefer the pre-rewritten version with https, auth and easier setup, but can't get it running on the newer ubuntu versions (cos npm fails when installing the older versions of log.io on new ubuntu releases), I built a working deb package based on the binaries installed from the old version and also using the startup/init.d scripts from here https://github.com/HiTask/logio-initscript-debian.

Have to install npm first and then install the deb package then edit the conf files before running. I got it up and working, linking multiple remote server logs to the webserver without an issue and log.io-harvester and log.io-server start at boot and can be started/stopped/restarted as a service.

Should also work on other platforms if you transfer the binaries manually and create the startup scripts for those platforms.

Message me privately if you want it or want to know more about how you can do it yourself if you have access to the old version running on an older server somewhere.

Thanks.

Looks like this project is dead :( Thanks for the link @markdesilva

I'm still using the old version that was so easy to implement and use. If you want the deb package I created for the old version, msg me privately and I'll send them to you.

Cheers!

Unfortunately I could not find your mail in your profile. Therefore, a private msg is not possible. Yes I am interested in the deb package. Ideally working with Ubuntu 20.04 or 21.04.

Opps sorry about that. I thought I had an email in there. I’ll email you with the deb and instructions when I get back. Yes, I am running it on 20.04 now and I have tested it on 21.04 as well.

Cheers!

Are there any other developing projects of the same type?

I remember using log.io a decade ago and it was super easy to install and use. Looks like it's not the case anymore, so I quickly googled for alternatives, and found this: https://github.com/mthenw/frontail

Haven't tried it yet, but looks like it's a simple way to stream logs via https, for those who don't need fancy heavyweight solutions with bunch of plugins, configs etc. I don't even want such streaming to be a part of my main app, as it's a realtime trading and each possible delay within the main app can cost money, hence I'm looking for a totally de-coupled logging solution, and frontail seems to be just that. Hope it helps someone.
