[Bug]: empty redis log

[greg0ire]

Current Behavior (bug)
When running devbox services up with the redis plugin, I see no logs in the process-compose interface. There is a redis.log file, but it's empty. The service itself seems to be working fine though.

When I run /nix/store/dl92rjch7rc01v3b4s9a1h5q035np6bl-redis-6.2.6/bin/redis-server 127.0.0.1:6379, I see logs

Expected Behavior (fix)
I would expect either a non-empty redis.log file, and/or logs in the process-compose UI

Additional context
Please include the output of devbox version -v and
a copy of your devbox.json file.

Hi @greg0ire, by default Devbox configures redis to put logs in .devbox/virtenv/redis/redis.log. You can edit devbox.d/redis/redis.conf and comment out the logfile redis.log line to get logs to go to standard out. That should let process compose capture them.

That said, I don't think Devbox's default behavior here makes much sense. It might predate the process compose integration. I'll leave this open and see about making logs default to stdout.
