docker-compose logs -t acme-mailcow

omexlu

Hello,

With this command:
docker-compose logs -t acme-mailcow

I only get the logs from today’s date, is this normal or because I did an update this morning?

@diekuh How can I show the logs of the past days as well?

Because I wrote a bash script which should save the logs daily from the day before, but it only shows the logs from today, maybe because I did an update today and the container has changed?

#!/bin/bash

# variables
startTime=$(date +%s)
currentDate=$(date --date @"$startTime" +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S")
currentDateReadable=$(date --date @"$startTime" +"%d-%m-%Y - %H:%M:%S")
dateYesterday=$(date -d "yesterday" '+%Y-%m-%d')

# move to 'mailcow-dockerized' folder
cd /opt/mailcow-dockerized/

# removes previous log-file
rm -rf /root/scripts/mailcow-backup/*-letsencrypt.log

# get letsencrypt-logs from yesterday
echo "" >> /root/scripts/mailcow-backup/"${currentDate}-letsencrypt.log"
docker-compose logs -t acme-mailcow | grep "$dateYesterday" >> /root/scripts/mailcow-backup/"${currentDate}-letsencrypt.log"

Hi, I replied to your mail, but for completeness: Running down will delete all containers (that’s good) but also remove their logs.

You could setup Syslog (or any other driver) to have persistent logs: https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-dockerized-docs/firststeps-logging/#logging-drivers

Thanks, I’m fine with docker-compose logs, I am only wondering why there was no older logs 😅

So my snipped above will normally work if there was no update just before?

Thanks in advance.

If I run the script at 00:00:00 or 00:00:01 the date for yesterday is not calculated correctly, can this be?

Have the cronjob now set to 00:05:00 so it should fit?

A manual run has now worked in any case.

Thanks for tips.
