Save data to "publish" folder

[tevpg]

What

Periodically save data to a separate folder in the filesystem

Why

• makes audit info available on the ipad (or phones) (Issue Audit & other reports for City Hall as static text in PUBLISH folder #85)
• provides some data protection in case of massive system failure (Issue extra protection from data loss #34)
• makes data easily available to City or other downstream users
• allows things like logfile aggregator to run in an environment that is locked down against change (presuming this folder is made read-only)

How

• Config would identify a "publish" folder.
• if present, then TT would periodically
  • re-save logfile to the publish folder
  • save an audit report (as text or html) to "publish" folder
• Chromebook would have to be set up such that the "publish" folder is in its Google Drive sync area

To get a conx from "pengion" (linux) on chromebook to its google drive:

• make folder in google drive
• on chromebook file explorer, right-click and "make available to linux"
• it is then magically mounted for linux in /mnt/chromeos/GoogleDrive/(etc)

Soooo:

• TragTracker should periodically (or always?) write a copy of its log to that folder
• TagTracker should periodically (or on request?) write easy-to-consume CSV extracts to that folder
• maybe consolidated logfile could live in that folder
• thinking a folder structure like:
  • ....GoogleDrive/MyFiles(or whatever it is)/tagtracker
    • logs
    • extracts

successfully publishes now. To do: save published reports for city hall consumption
