Hi @DaanHoogland is this PR still in progress?

[DaanHoogland]

@nvazquez , it just needs some validation, but should be ready. Outcome of validation might mean adjustment for different platforms, hence it is still in draft.

Pull request overview

This PR attempts to ensure the server’s access.log is rotated by generating a logrotate configuration file during embedded server startup (when the Jetty request log is created).

Changes:

• Adds runtime creation of a logrotate config targeting the configured access log file.
• Introduces filesystem write logic under /etc/logrotate.d from ServerDaemon#createRequestLog().

@DaanHoogland why aren't we handling logrotate config files in the packaging? That's how it's done typically.

[DaanHoogland]

@ingox , this was an abandoned PR. I have revived it now. It still needs some functional assessment. As @NuxRo asked, it could be done in packaging as well, an erroneous pattern much applied ;) I am willing to carry this implementation through, if it can get some approval. If not, and the functional ask is still valid, a different tactics must be applied.
