create better admin logging tray for running docker container that is accesible outside the server

[kaxada]

Currently, there are actions and processes we can't track unless we log into the server and look at the logs of the docker containers or nginx servers.

The goal is to create a protected endpoint accessible only with an admin login. it should be a log sheet summarising any process happening in the backend. tracking actions, responses from APIs and the server to the user, who logged in, who got signed up, which badges got issued and when. This should also have time stamps and necessary links to the action (if needed).

The logs will be deleted after a certain period or when they reach a certain level of memory.

[kaxada]

@FaithKovi there you go. let me know of anything that is not clear.

[FaithKovi]

@kaxada do you have a specific time duration for the log retention?

@kaxada Do you have a specific time duration for the log retention?

[kaxada]

No. The server is still huge can put it to anything more than a year. We can scale it down whenever. I hope you can make a draft PR in the coming week or so. @FaithKovi

[FaithKovi]

Okay that's fine then. You will have a draft PR soon @kaxada

@kaxada I need some help with the local setup.
For Authorization callback URL and Homepage URL. what is the specific URL used?
localhost?

[kaxada]

@FaithKovi you can use http://localhost:{PORT}. The port is whatever port you are running your local project on
