web-logs

A simple webapp to retrieve the logs of apps

Requirements

Have python installed

bash

pip3 install flask
nano .env

Write the env vars

bash

LOGS_VIEWER_PASSWORD="ABCDE"
LOGS_VIEWER_REDIRECT="https://example.com"
LOGS_VIEWER_PORT=10000

Create a new file called config.py

bash

nano config.py

Edit the paths to the logs folders in config.py

log_paths = {
    'An app with thousand users': '/home/success/awesomeapp/logs/admin_only',
    'My amazing bot !': '/home/discord/top-secret-bot/logs'
}

Run

bash

export $(cat .env | xargs) && mkdir -p logs && nohup python3 app.py > logs/output.log 2>&1 &

CLI Access

bash

curl http://logs.server.url/admin?passwd=ABCDE

You’ll get the links in the output. To download them :

bash

curl -OJ "http://logs.server.url/logs/app/file.log?dl=1"

Endpoints

/ : The entry page. You basically don’t see it, as it directly prompts to enter the password. A wrong password redirects to LOGS_VIEWER_REDIRECT
/admin?passwd=ABCDE : The main page. Displays the list of apps and the logs that their respective folders contains. The filename link will open the logs file in stream in another tab, while the Download link will… well download it
/logs/app/file.log : Display the content of the file.log file of the application app in stream
/logs/app/file.log?dl=1 : Same as above but downloads the file

Only the /admin endpoint is protected by password. Meaning that anyone can get a /logs URL and see the file. But to get it in the first place, that person need to either get that URL from the /admin endpoint or through you, so never share a logs link publicly.
Also the “password” protection is a simple sha256
