while this would be more user-friendly as a config option, configs are a pain because they aren't initialized until after the server log has already been set up.
In any case, I foresee that people will likely want to bake this into Dockerfiles directly anyway.
`server.log` is not rotated by default and grows unmanageably large, to the point where it's so huge that it's not possible to read it with any standard text editor anymore.
This PR implements automatic log rotation.
- When the `server.log` reaches 32MB in size, it's moved to the `log_archive/` folder of the server's data folder.
- The archive's file name will look something like this: `server.2024-03-15T15.26.24.0.log`
- The file's name contains the date and time when the file was archived. This may be useful if you're trying to find logs from a particular time frame.
This has several benefits:
- Much more easily find logs from a particular time frame without scrolling through GBs of logs
- Free up space without stopping the server - Archived log files in `log_archive/` can be safely deleted and/or modified while the server is running
If you want to automatically compress or clean up the log files, I suggest an external cron job or disk watcher.
Closes#4029.
this was previously part of the abandoned package pocketmine/spl. It had to be separated in the PM3 days, because RakLib depended on it.
Since RakLib 0.13, RakLib stopped being dependent on or aware of pthreads, so it no longer depends on any thread-related packages.
It's also possible to absorb pocketmine/snooze and pocketmine/classloader back into the core with this in mind.
This function adds "base" format to a string. The given formats are inserted directly after any RESET code in the sequence.
An example of where this is needed is in the logger.
Without this change, the following code:
$logger->notice("I'm a " . TextFormat::RED . "special" . TextFormat::RESET . " cookie");
causes the "cookie" part of the message to show as grey, instead of the expected aqua for NOTICE level messages.
There are also many workarounds for this problem throughout the server, mostly in command outputs, being forced to use WHITE instead of RESET to avoid breaking the logger output.
this avoids needing to call Terminal::init() before starting a MainLogger. Since it inits the formatting codes anyway when log messages are first recorded, it shouldn't be necessary to pre-initialize it.
