Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I cannot find out why the error happens in the backend. The only logs I see are ⇨ http server started on [::]:8080 and then the HTTP requests.

Describe the solution you'd like

Provide an environment variable to log internal backend errors.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

I want to use a podman pod. The UI only shows a 500 error, the network request fails with HTTP 503 status. I want to find out what is failing.

Research direction

Start by locating the backend's existing error handling and logging entry points, then inspect how environment variables are configured. The work is done when an environment variable enables internal backend errors to appear in logs for failed requests, while the existing startup and request logging continues to work.
