I came across systemd-journald-remote and like the Idea to store Logs on my nas instead of writing to the RPI sdcard.
What should I consider? How should I configure it?

What should I consider? How should I configure it?
The need is somewhat moot because LE runs the core OS from a virtual filesystem in RAM on all boards with 1GB+ RAM so writing data to the journal is not writing constantly to the SD card like a standard Linux distro.
To configure systemd-journald-remote you'll first need to compile a custom LE image that builds systemd with journald-remote support, and copy the required binaries and service files into the image, as we don't currently do that.
The easier option will be to install the rsyslog add-on from the LE repo and use that to send logs to the NAS. I've never personally played around with it, but it exists and last time we broke it people complained. On that basis I assume it's used and working; else we'd be complained to again.

Why could I not add systemd-journald-remote as addon?
If you're volunteering to code it and submit it to our repo, that's great. Otherwise it doesn't exist.
