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.

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

      Are you crazy? I understand that we are used to dumbed down stuff, but come on…

      Rotating logs is in the ABC of any sysadmin, even before backups.

      First, secure your ssh logins, then secure your logs, then your fail2ban then your backups…

      To me, that’s in the basic stuff you must always ensure.

        Those should also all be secure by default. What is this, Windows?

          Just basic checks I prefer to ensure, not leave to distribution good faith. If all is set, good to go. Otherwise, fix and move on.

          Specially with self hosted stuff that is a bit more custom than the usual.
