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.

Agreed, but going container route those nice basic practices are dead.

And also, being mextcloud a php service, of can't by definition ship with a logrotate config too, because its never packaged by your repo.

The fact (IMHO) is that the logs shouldn't be there, in a persistent volume.

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu -1 points 1 year ago

Probably, but still, if they are, just rotate them.
