NotEnoughWood - NEW

NotEnoughWood - A simple way to access your logs via http/s.
Show the results of commands in the web. No need for a ssh session to check the log files.

Features

• Access the logs of commands, like docker logs <container-name>.
• If the logs are written to disk, you can host these logfiles.
• Use cURL to access the service, or add the plain query to the url to show the result without html. Like http://localhost:4200/test.log?plain=true
• Use the query param tail you can specify the lines (from the ending) you want to see. Something Like http://localhost:4200/test.log?tail=10 means seeing the last 10 lines of the command output.
