LinuxServer.io's SWAG (nginx reverse proxy) docker image has a mod for installing Goaccess.

Unfortunately the default configuration for this only reads the first access.log file generated by nginx and SWAG rotates this file out pretty agressively. If you have a modest amount of traffic access.log may only cover the last 24 hours of traffic which makes the dashboard's range pretty limited.

This repo provides a script that leverage LinuxServer.io own private/custom mod infrastructure in order to make SWAG read ALL stored access.log.* files from its own log volume.

How Does It Work?

• The provided folders are set as custom scripts and services in the SWAG container.
• preloadLogs.sh is executed by LISO's custom script init when the container starts
  • The scripts checks for default mod settings and that no data has already been persisted to goaccess -- if both conditions are true then it persists rotated/archived logs files into goaccess
• A custom service makes crontab run
  • Every hour the current access.log file is ingested. This makes sure persisted data does not have any gaps in the event you do not access the dashboard frequently.

Install

• Copy /swag-custom to your preferred directory. (Best to put it near the same directory SWAG is mounted to for /config).
• Change the permissions for the folders (scripts and services) to be owned by root.
  • Usually like chown 0:0 swag-custom/scripts chown 0:0 swag-custom/services
• Changes the permissions for the contents of each folder to match the PUID/PGID you have set for your SWAG container
• Mount scripts at /custom-cont-init.d in your SWAG container
• Mount services at /custom-services.d in your SWAG container

You're done!

Usage

Modify Number of Preloaded Logs

preloadLogs.sh will be default ingest the last 100 archived (access.log.*.gz) log files found. If you want to ingest less files modify the variable INGEST_LAST_NUM in preloadLogs.sh. INGEST_LAST_NUM is the number of most recent archvied files to ingest.
