Build logs frequently hang when viewing from web UI

Drone Support

Pretty much every time I attempt to view a build log from the web interface it hangs when it’s (presumably) trying to render the output from the server.

I don’t know what’s causing it, but it’s happened virtually every time I’ve tried to view CI logs on my machine. My machine’s specs are quite low (listed below), but I still don’t feel like it should be causing as drastic of issues that I’ve been having (things like GitHub Actions CI logs always seem to load fine on my machine).

The only root cause I am aware of that would cause logs to hang is when you have a reverse proxy (nginx, etc) in front of Drone that is not properly configured to handle server sent events. There are otherwise no known issues with logging.

I never configured Drone against the example config (I’m assuming this), I’ll look at that more later today though.
