Not sure why this was closed when I didn't even have a chance to respond to the comments?

That's based on your copyparty config and is the output file.

I'm talking about the logs being shown in journalctl -u copyparty since the script installs this as a systemctl service.

It's very common for me to check the status of the logs for a service with systemctl status {service} as I find that quicker than diving into the full log file of the service.

When I tested various uploads and moves, this would have massively inflated the journal, so there are static log paths. These are also easier to search through.

Hi, this is not "my" config, its script default configuration. The application logs out to:

/var/log/copyparty/copyparty.log
/var/log/copyparty/copyparty.err

So, everything works as expected and its closed because it works exactly as written in the script.
