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.

Reminds me of when my Jellyfin container kept growing its log because of something watchtower related. Think it ended up at 100GB before I noticed. Not even debug, just failed updates I think. It's been a couple of months.

  • Is there a tool to automatically check partitions for excessive log files, caches or other junk? The root partition of a Linux box I have is 60 GiB and almost full, and XFCE will fail to start when there's no space. I would use WinDirStat on Windows but the Linux alternatives can't do the job properly because they scan by file tree and some subdirectories of / are on other partitions because of symlinks... I guess I could boot a live USB and mount my ext4 root partition but not the NTFS storage one but I'd rather avoid that.
