What's a simple logging service?
(lemmy.world)
Loki with grafana
Is there a decent tutorial on how to get it up and running on standard services such as systemd events, fail2ban etc? There is no quick start guide on their site.
Install promtail on the system where you want to get the logs from, then configure it with the paths to the log files and the address of the loki server

syslog over udp
Syslog over TCP with TLS (don't want those sweet packets containing sensitive data leaving your box unencrypted). Bonus points for mutual authentication between the server/clients (just got it working and it's 👌 - my implementation here
It solves the aggregation part but doesn't solve the viewing/analysis part. I usually use lnav on simple setups (gotty as a poor man's web interface for lnav when needed), and graylog on larger ones (definitely costly in terms of RAM and storage though)
About that I have made the simplest possible implementation of a syslog server in Rust. I use it to collect OpenWrt logs and store them on my server. ;-)
I’m currently using Dozzle. It’s a simple way to view your container logs in real-time, in the same place. It might be too basic but it’s incredibly easy to get it up and running.
I'm also using Dozzle and it's been great for semi realtime use. I occasionally think about something for longer term logs but haven't yet had the motivation.
Haha yeah, I’m right there with ya
This looks exactly like what I was looking for thanks babes
I use Portainer for this, though it doesn’t aggregate logs or anything. It just makes them easy to get to and read.
I used to use Portainer quite a bit, but after migrating to Unraid i feel like their UI was a bit superior in most ways (for my use), but thanks:)
Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:
| Fewer Letters | More Letters |
|---|---|
| IP | Internet Protocol |
| SSL | Secure Sockets Layer, for transparent encryption |
| TCP | Transmission Control Protocol, most often over IP |
| TLS | Transport Layer Security, supersedes SSL |
2 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 6 acronyms.

If you just want to view logs, then a lightweight viewer I really recommend is Dozzle.
Dozzle looks really great, imma check this out 🌻
