Preserve "Tasks" view history of uploads/downloads/errors across reboots? (and "systemctl restart calibre-web")

holta commented 1 week ago

Hypothetical but important question:

How realistic (or unrealistic!) would it be to preserve the contents of IIAB Calibre-Web's "Tasks" view?
So that educator/librarian/parent's history of content uploads and downloads remains visible, for as many days/weeks as curatorially-minded curriculum people need...

(In contrast to the current functionality, which wipes clean the "Tasks" view history of recent uploads/downloads — every time systemd's calibre-web.service restarts — whether or not the machine reboots!)

Interesting. I am thinking about this.

Conversely: If making this happen causes too much upstream friction, possibly we should defer all work here until much later?

e.g. if it makes more sense for this functionality (persistent "Tasks" view!) to be a part of the upstream version of Calibre-Web in the end?
