Instead log only to the console and let daemon wrapper (systemd in Debian) take the logs from the console and log them to system log. There are many advantages for logging to system log instead of handling files on our own: - No need to handle log file rotation. This can be configured in many ways and we don't have to support that. System's log daemon handles this. Closes #1353. - Remaining system logs such as sudo and audit logs can be along with FreedomBox logs for better debugging. - It is possible to do remote logging based on system logger. - It is possible to make the logs tamper resistant based on system logger configuration. Since timestamp is automatically logged by system log daemon, remove timestamps from log format. When running on console, timestamps are not very useful.

FreedomBox Service (Plinth)
The core functionality and web front-end of FreedomBox.
Description
FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data stays with you.
This module, called FreedomBox Service and also know as Plinth, is the core functionality and web interface to the functions of the FreedomBox. It is extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each module or application provides simplified user interface to control the underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is possible to configure networking. It also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.
You can find more information about FreedomBox Service (Plinth) on the Plinth Wiki page, the FreedomBox Wiki and the FreedomBox Manual.
