I built Glintlog because I wanted a simple way to aggregate logs without spinning up Elasticsearch, Loki, or a SaaS that costs my kidney…

What it is: A self-hosted log aggregation tool that runs as a single binary. No Docker, no dependencies, no config files required.

How it works: ``` curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ibero-data/glintlog/main/s... | bash ```

That's it. Open localhost:8080 and you have a log viewer with search, filtering, and live tail.

Tech: - Go backend with embedded DuckDB for storage - Native OTLP support (gRPC on 4317, HTTP on 4318) - Works with any OpenTelemetry SDK out of the box

Why I built it:

I run small side projects and wanted observability without the complexity. Existing solutions either require too much infrastructure (ELK), are SaaS-only, or don't support OpenTelemetr natively. Glintlog is meant to be the SQLite of log aggregation – simple, embedded, good enough for most use cases. I use a lot for ETL’s now… (I’m a data engineer too)…

It's not meant to replace SaaS that has a 500-person company. It's for small teams, and enthusiasts who want logs without the overhead, also covering all we need for it…

Would love feedback. What features would make this useful for you? Would you pay per year?
