Thomas Eizinger f800875aff fix(relay): don't hang when connecting to OTLP exporter (#6034)
The dependency update in #6003 introduced a regression: Connecting to
the OTLP exporter was hanging forever and thus the relay failed to start
up.

The hang seems to be related to _dropping_ the `meter_provider`. Looking
at the changelog update, this change was actually called out:
https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-rust/blob/main/opentelemetry-otlp/CHANGELOG.md#v0170.

By setting these providers globally, the relay starts up just fine.

To ensure this doesn't regress again, we add an OTEL collector to our
`docker-compose.yml` and configure the `relay-1` to connect to it.

Rust development guide

Firezone uses Rust for all data plane components. This directory contains the Linux and Windows clients, and low-level networking implementations related to STUN/TURN.

We target the last stable release of Rust using rust-toolchain.toml. If you are using rustup, that is automatically handled for you. Otherwise, ensure you have the latest stable version of Rust installed.

Reading Client logs

The Client logs are written as JSONL for machine-readability.

To make them more human-friendly, pipe them through jq like this:

cd path/to/logs  # e.g. `$HOME/.cache/dev.firezone.client/data/logs` on Linux
cat *.log | jq -r '"\(.time) \(.severity) \(.message)"'

Resulting in, e.g.
