option for log file output

[telrehiad]

I've recently started using mc-router and it works great. The issue I am running into is online scanners and other malicious scripts attempting connections. I would like to setup something like fail2ban to automatically search the log for bad actors and add a firewall rule. Unfortunately since the mc-router binary is in such a cut down docker image with no shell, there is no way to redirect the log file to disk inside the container and there is no direct log file output thru the application itself.

Would it be possible to add a "-logfile (filename)" option to allow fail2ban to follow a logfile?

Thanks for submitting this, but I try to follow the 12 factor app philosophy

As such the intention is that docker logging driver would be adjusted or used as is to perform file based logs.

Log run is being used, so the feature is probably fairly easy. I'll give it some thought though.
