What is logarr?

This PHP-based log viewer aggregates text logs from multiple sources into one browser page. It shows the newest entries first, lets you search across all logs at once, highlights error keywords automatically, and provides collapsible panels for each log file. You can roll or download logs, set a maximum line count to keep the UI responsive, and update the application itself from the web interface. Configuration is done by editing a PHP array that maps friendly names to absolute file paths; a Docker image bundles Nginx and PHP so the only host-side requirements are a volume for config and a volume for the log files you want to watch. The codebase has been unchanged since early 2020.
