I had to convert the logs from the SQL dump, which was a little painful.
We’re now using whatever happens to be the format that ZNC produces.

I would advise against using the Guix project’s logging solution,
because it really isn’t very reliable.  It’s literally just a ZNC
process with the default log plugin enabled.  There’s no proper service
for it; the thing is just started manually.

The log viewer is primitive:


https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/hydra/goggles.scm

For us it’s worth doing this in spite of all this because the logs are
stored on our servers.  This is pretty much the only advantage to us.
If you don’t mind having the logs stored elsewhere there certainly exist
better solutions than our chewing gum + duct tape contraption.

irc log hosting questions (with GNUnet eV hat on)

2019-10-04 Thread ng0
Hi,

I've just asked Ludovic about the possibility to host our 3 IRC channel logs
(libmicrohttpd, gnunet, taler).
We'd like to talk about this in our next GNUnet team call, which is scheduled
for 2019-10-10.

Ideally we can get the okay about this (that it would be doable) before the 
10th, so that I can
talk in detail about this proposal (and point to this thread).

Are there any other requirements from our side we would have to fullfil (for 
current logs)
in case you agree to host the logs?
What would be the requirements if we would decide to convert our old logs to 
the log format
used by your logging?


Furthwermore, I'd like to apologize again for how the logs were handled the 
past 12 months.
Reasoning about why this happened would be too long, just a series of too many 
bad
coincidences and volunteering work.


Cheers,
ng0
