Save execution logs

[accforgithubtest]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Persist execution logs for all actions (manual, cron, onstartup, etc) to a log file so it can be used later (review / log analysis using other tools, etc). Neat if can also be displayed on the UI after a restart.

Describe the solution you'd like
A log file using a common standard format stores the logs to a log file in the same directory as the config file (for docker volume simplicity sake, it can also be a different volume if need be).
Probably will need log rotation & automated clean up after x days - both of which can be specified via environment variables.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Pls suggest if there are alternatives already available. Apologies if I have missed something that exists already.

Additional context
Right now all the previous executions log are lost once the container restarts.

heh, I did wonder when this request would be raised :-) It means I need to implement a whole log handling solution!

It does make sense though, thanks for the feature request. I'd like to fix some other stuff first and get the issues list down a bit more before I take this on - as it's a fairly chunky feature.

For anyone else reading this, +1ing the first post here with an Emoji is helpful for me to understand how many people want this feature.

#147 has a good idea to specifically the log filename on a per action basis, like resultFile.

Okay, I've beeb avoiding this for quite a while because I was worried about all the log handling, but actually if I just write the log file on competition it solves a hell of a lot of problems and is very easy.

The code doesn't yet load logs from disk at startup, but I'm going go handle that as a separate issue.

Saving logs is now possible in OliveTin. This was included in the 2024.04.28 release, and is documented here; https://docs.olivetin.app/save-logs.html

Pinging those that expressed interest in this as a FYI - @accforgithubtest @edersong @kernelkaribou @callumgare @tboby @rwalkerands @Vinesma @TH0MVS

No feedback received, but got some ❤️'s so assume that is good enough after a month :-) Closing.
