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.

    Why is that? Really? The Dev should replace a system function? And implement over and over again the same errors when logrotate exist?

      Yes, that’s exactly what we’re arguing here. The developer also should replace autotools/cmake, git, … Don’t be daft! Packaging sane defaults for logrotate is now replacing a system function?

        Docker is supposed to run a single process Logrotate is a separate process. So unless the application handles rotating logs, the container shouldn’t handle it.
