I set it to debug at somepoint and forgot maybe? Idk, but why the heck does the default config of the official Docker is to keep all logs, forever, in a single file woth no rotation?

Feels like 101 of log files. Anyway, this explains why my storage recipt grew slowly but unexpectedly.

    You should always setup logrotate. Yes the good old Linux logrotate…

      I don’t disagree that logrotate is a sensible answer here, but making that the responsibility of the user is silly.

      We should each not have to configure log rotation for every individual service. That would require identify what and how it logs data in the first place, then implementing a logrotate config. Services should include a reasonable default in logrotate.d as part of their install package.

        Ideally yes, but I’ve had to do this regularly for many services developed both in-house and out of house.

        Solve problems, and maybe share your work if you like, I think we all appreciate it.
