Introduce ENABLE_JSON_LOGGING
#216
Conversation
This change adds the `ENABLE_JSON_LOGGING` option to export restic metadata in JSON format. The goal is to improve accessibility by allowing users to utilize tools like `jq` to process the metadata. This enables users to create external scripts for extracting metadata and sending notifications using `run_commands`. update doc and include notify script as sample to send backup metadata via apprise Export `LOG_FILE` and create docker-compose for contributing - export `LOG_FILE` so it will be available for subprocess executed via `run_commands` - Add docker-compose.contribute.yml facilitate contributing process - make `notify` executable and copy it to /usr/local/bin - notify: update content to only include summary and errors for now. jq was complaining on payload too large when using verbose mode. - update doc

Sorry for the late reply.. This looks good to me! But will need a test, see below.

| - `SKIP_INIT_CHECK`- Do not fail, if initialization of the restic repository fails for whatever reason. | ||

| - `ENABLE_JSON_LOGGING` = Converts Restic's standard output to JSON format. This allows users to leverage tools like `jq` to extract specific fields from the metadata. Additionally, it supports calling external scripts for further processing, such as [executing commands after a backup](#execute-commands-after-backup). For example: |

I guess this should also document that the LOG_FILE env variable is set for the commands to be used.

Not sure why you added this file and what the name is exactly about? IMO we can just remove this.

This functionality should also be tested. I will add a test.

@jeankhawand, Hi! I'm also thinking about visualization and notifications now. What your setup is in the end? Did you switch to another wrapper or do you use your fork? |
