Is this a feature for the backend or frontend?

Backend

What would you like?

Please please please make your logger split output to stdout+stderr as well as that is the convention for containerized applications. Logfiles are soooooo 2012 ;p

Why is this needed?

Logging does NOT work even after following all the docs and going into all rabbit holes...but that is not the main reason: most of us run multiple apps and those all output to stderr+stdout so that we can use offload docker output to a centralized logging application.

Other information

No response

I see that Winston is used with an extra transport for Console, but there is no output at all coming from the planka container, leading me to believe that the first transport File is conflicting and the next is not used:

Hmm, I just checked, and when I run docker compose up, I see the same messages in the console that are also written to the log file.
