Are you using a multi-server setup, or just a single server?

Single server

Are you using the filesystem as back-end storage, or S3/Couchbase?

Couchbase

I'm terribly sorry to say this, but Cronicle v1 doesn't support HTTPS. Several people have hacked it to sort of make it sort of work, but live log watching is a no-go, because it opens a secondary web socket directly to the worker server.

The good news is, this is all fixed in Cronicle v2, which is coming this year (2024). Unfortunately it would be way too much work to backport full HTTPS support into v1.

@jhuckaby I apologize if this is answered elsewhere but I couldn't find in my digging. Is croncile-edge the codebase for your Cronicle v2 release or a completely unrelated fork?

[jhuckaby]

@DerekF35 Totally unrelated fork. I wish the author hadn't created a GitHub org named "cronicle-edge" because it makes it look very official, when it is not.

Don't get me wrong, he's an awesome dude, and very talented. I just wish he left his fork under his personal GH account.

@jhuckaby Thanks for the quick reply and your answer makes sense. If that was the future I was considering on jumping ahead, but I will wait patiently for your implementation.

Well, don't let me dissuade you from trying it! Mike added a ton of good features in there, including (I believe) HTTPS support, even for live log watching, Docker image, etc.

It's definitely worth a look 😊
