## What is this?

In order for you to view your self-hosted logs, you have to deploy this application. Before you deploy the application, create a config var named `MONGO_URI` and put your MongoDB connection URI from the previous section into the value slot. Take the URL of this app after you deploy it and input it as a config var `LOG_URL` in the Modmail bot app.

## Updating

You can automatically update the logviewer in your Heroku account whenever changes are made to this repo.

To enable auto-updates, fork this repo and [install the Pull app in your fork](https://github.com/apps/pull). Then go to the Deploy tab in your Heroku account, select GitHub and connect your fork. Turn on auto-deploy for the master branch.

## Self-Hosting Setup

The method of hosting the logviewer depends on your server configurations.

Below are some general instructions to help you get started on a Linux machine.

### Prerequisites

- A [Python 3.9 installation](https://www.python.org/downloads/) with `pip`
- `git` for your system

e.g. on Ubuntu:
```shell
sudo apt install software-properties-common python3.9 python3-dev python3-pip
```

### Deployment

Run the following shell commands:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/kyb3r/logviewer
cd logviewer
python3 -m pip install pipenv
pipenv install
cp .env.example .env
```
Edit the `.env` file (e.g. `nano .env`) and fill in your MongoDB connection URI.

> You can also customize the bind IP and port in the `.env` file.

Then to start the app, run:
```shell
pipenv run logviewer
```

You can verify the logviewer is working by navigating to `http://:8000` (if you didn't change the bind IP / port) and should be greeted with the Logviewer main page.

To run the program in the background, you can use `screen`. Or you can use a service manager, such as `systemd`, which can also auto-restart the logviewer on failure and after system reboot.

### Advanced

We recommend setting up Nginx reverse proxy to port forward external port 80 to your internal logviewer port and cache static web contents ([tutorial](https://www.hostinger.com/tutorials/how-to-set-up-nginx-reverse-proxy/)).

To accept requests from a domain instead of your server IP, simply set an `A`/`AAAA` record from your DNS record manager that forwards your domain to your server IP.
