[Galene] enable debug log

[Galene] enable debug log

[Michael Ströder]

HI!

Still I'm not really familiar with go stuff but I'm trying to test git
master.

Running into an issue I'd like to see whether my own setup is correct,
typically by examining log output.

I see some log.Printf() calls in the code. But how to enable the message
output?

Ciao, Michael.

It goes to standard output.  If you're running Galène from the terminal,
it will appear on the terminal.  If you're using runit, you'll find the
output in the named pipe called "log".  If you're running systemd, you
should be able to use journalctl to get at the lock which is stored in
some mysterious place.

Do I have to set a log level somewhere?

There is no output at all when starting like this (even as root):

/usr/sbin/galene -http 0.0.0.0:8444 -data /etc/galene -groups
/var/lib/galene/groups -static /usr/share/galene/static -recordings
/var/lib/galene/recordings

But the server runs and answers requests.

Ciao, Michael.

No.  We unconditionally log errors, and we don't log anything else.

You'll find some anonymised statistics under /stats.

It seems my expectation was wrong. It logs only very rarely. ;-)

It would be nice to see start and stop messages sent to log output. With
my own demons I usually log name and version which is pretty useful to
check whether updates were applied.

Just my 2 cent.

Ciao, Michael.
