How to change the log level in urbackup-server docker?

Server
1

With a recent change the default log level of the server image has been set to “warn”. How can it be changed to “info”?

I do not see the setting in the GUI.

Thanks

I think you can override the default docker params

3

How can I do that? Is there an environmental variable?

Thanks for your support and for this great software!!!

Sry, I’m not using Docker to run urbackup

I think it needs to read the config settings from environment variables as well. Will change it this way, but that will only be available with the next server release.

That would be great!!!

Next server release would be the image for urbackup-server 2.5.36 or 2.5.37? Currently the image is 2.5.35.

Next server release will be 2.5.37 . Then I can update the Docker to remove the arguments again.

I only changed it in latest. You could use the 2.5.x tag. I don’t think that has the arguments

A way to achieve my goal with the current image is to add a “command” line to the docker-compose.yaml like this:

services:
  urbackup:
    image: uroni/urbackup-server:latest
    command: ["run", "-v", "info", "-g", "20971520", "-b", "enp2s0"]
    container_name: urbackup
  [...]

Arguments for the command can be identified with

urbackupsrv run --help

after opening a terminal inside the container.

I think using the configuration file with the image would be a more common approach as it is used in the non-docker implementations of urbackup.

With latest change of the image (2.5.37), log level and log rotate file size have been moved to environmental variables. So now I use this as the run arguments seem to overwrite the environment variables. But there is no environmental variable for the interface.

services:
  urbackup:
    image: uroni/urbackup-server:latest
    command: ["run", "-b", "enp2s0"]
    container_name: urbackup
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin # Enter your timezone
      - URBACKUP_LOGLEVEL=info
      - URBACKUP_LOG_ROTATE_FILESIZE=20971520
