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.

Or you can forward to your system logger, like syslog or systemd.

But then projects like NextCloud do it all wrong by using a file. Just log to stdout and I'll manage the rest.
