Cronic is a simple tool for saving and observing events on a remote server.
For example, if you have a cron job that runs periodically you can use a simple curl at the end of the job to capture the output. It will be written to disk for later viewing. This can be helpful when running cron jobs whose output is critical (e.g. backups).
A REST server with a SQLite db that will record events which contain a source (string), output (string) and an error code (int).
An event's source is a unique identifier, restic_backup_bookstack for example.
A dashboard is presented on 0.0.0.0:8000 that shows basic information for the most recent events by source.
The examples/ dir contains a bash script and a python script with examples for storing events.

Look into musl-cross and ensure these steps are followed, specifically:
