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.
Feels like blaming others for not paying attention.
Persistent storage should never be used for logging in docker. Nextcloud is one of the worst offenders of breaking docker conventions I’ve found, this is just one of the many ways they prove they don’t understand docker.
Logs should simply be logged to stdout, which will be read by docker or by a logging framework. There should never be “log files” for a container, as it should be immutable, with persistent volumes only being used for configuration or application state.
The AIO container is so terrible, like, that’s not how you’re supposed to use Docker.
It’s unclear whether OP was using that or saner community containers, might just be the AIO one.
