Docker container logs taking all my disk space
I am running a container on a VM. My container is writing logs by default to /var/lib/docker/containers/CONTAINER_ID/CONTAINER_ID-json.log file until the disk is full. Currently, I have to delete manually this file to avoid the disk to be full. I read that in Docker 1.8 there will be a parameter to rotate the logs . What would you recommend as the current workaround? poiuytrez Docker 1.8 has been released with a log rotation option. Adding: --log-opt max-size=50m when the container is launched does the trick.
