Backend Logging Unnecessary Information and Filling Disk Space

[HelloMum]

Issue: The backend application is currently logging excessive and unnecessary information to the output, which is rapidly consuming disk space on the server. (The disk was filled by the logfile (more than 30 gbs))

Expected Behavior: Logging should be limited to essential information required for monitoring and debugging purposes.

Actual Behavior: The backend is generating an unusually large amount of log data, leading to rapid disk space consumption.

Proposed Solution:

• Implement more selective logging to reduce the volume of unnecessary log entries. (Boyu)
• I will consider implementing log rotation and retention policies to manage log file sizes effectively too. (Jorge)

For now backend is disabled on deployment.

Server configuration applied on server to limit maximum logging size in the global settings:

/etc/docker/daemon.json

{
  "log-driver": "json-file",
  "log-opts": {
    "max-size": "10m",   // Maximum size of each log file (10 megabytes)
    "max-file": "3"      // Maximum number of log files to retain (3)
  }

Added a quick fix on the docker composer while the other changes are made: logging: driver: "json-file" options: max-size: "10m" max-file: "3"

Fixed on #111
