HA AddOn: Concept how to handle the proxy logs in AddOn mode

[s-allius]

The proxy writes a lot of information in log files. These are huge (5..8MB per day). We need a concept how we would handle this:

• we can disable all log
• we can automatically delete the files after x days
• we can use ...?

I mounted the add-on log folder for testpurpose. but, this is something we could take over to the actual add-on config. this would give users the possibility to see the logs.
this in combination with a switch to enable/disable might be meaningful.

let me keep this test for some days and I'll come with a more precise suggestion.

latest concept is to have a log folder that is mounted to Homeassistant "addon_configs" (accessible e.g. via SMB or Studio Code Server Add-on,...)
to prevent the system from endless storing, the files older than (2) days get automatically removed.
I'm personally already happy with this. :)

just for completeness, we could develop following further steps:

variant log-files in mounted folder

we could give a option in configuration tab to configure the number of days to keep log-files.

variant debug-mode in Add-on Log

we could have a switch in add-on config that indicates the proxy to run in debug mode. this would plot debug messages to the Add-on (Supervisor) Logservice.
if we implement this as radio button/list option (Log-Level), we could also set it to a ERROR mode where the usual connect/disconnect messages doesn't appear.

• I also disable the watchdog for now
