Do you have an LDAP server setup?
Yes, OpenLDAP installed from this ansible role

Logrotate appreciation
It's dead easy to use TCP/SSL instead of UDP to forward logs. Example rsyslog config
-
Simple way to centralize my server logs?
I use rsyslog for that since it's the default in Debian. Configuring forwarding is very simple, a single file in /etc/rsyslog.d/forwarding.conf [1]. Note that this setup uses TLS to encrypt messages so you need to create the relevant certificates (I use self-signed certs). Unencrypted TCP or UDP is simpler, but less secure.

Best openldap + samba file server approach
I do this with https://github.com/nodiscc/xsrv/tree/master/roles/openldap + https://github.com/nodiscc/xsrv/tree/master/roles/samba. It's just a standalone samba server + LDAP auth for users, no DC or anything like that, so I'm not sure this is what you're looking for.
- YUnoHost alternative?

Release Radar · April 2024 Edition: Major updates from the open source community
It's like Prometheus, but for logs. Okay it's not really to do with the Norse or Greek gods, instead Loki is a horizontally-scalable, highly-available, multi-tenant log aggregation system inspired by the open source project Prometheus. Built by Grafana Labs, Loki is designed for ease of use. Instead of indexing the contents of the logs, Loki provides a set of labels for each log stream. The latest update includes query acceleration with Bloom filters, native OTel support, Helm charts, and more. Check out the changelog for all the major changes and deprecations.
- Loki 3.0 Released

OpenObserve: Open source Elasticsearch alternative in Rust for logs. 140x lower storage cost
For log systems you generally don't migrate data. Logs lose value over time. What you want to do is to go ahead and start ingesting data into the new system (OpenObserve in this case) and slowly, the data in the old system will become stale and then you can retire it. However if you need to export logs anyhow, there is no straightforward way in loki to do this. You could run a script to query loki and export it to a file. If found this thread with a sample script - https://github.com/grafana/loki/issues/409

Config files of snaps?
That snap is woefully out of date. The upstream repo was recently updated to 2.8.2, but the snap stable channel has 2.4.1 from 18 months ago. https://github.com/grafana/loki/releases/tag/v2.8.2
