[Serilog] Properly rotate log files

[Mart124]

Hi,

I open this ticket to keep in mind tracking the following issue :
#604 (comment)

To sum-up, using globalSettings__logRollBySizeLimit=1073741824, filename is OK, log.txt.

But it is "wrongly" rotated.
log.txt goes up to the limit, then new log lines go into log_001.txt.
We would rather expect moving log.txt to log_001.txt, and logging again into log.txt.

Seems like an issue with Serilog itself : serilog/serilog-sinks-file#40

Thx 👍

A possible workaround is to let globalSettings__logRollBySizeLimit= empty, so that we're back with the daily-rotated log file (but still without a fixed name, see upstream issue above).

And to create a fixed log.txt by ourselves :

# create the new daily log file
docker restart bitwarden-identity
# link the fixed name
ln -f /path/to/bwdata/logs/identity/Identity/$(date +%Y%m%d).txt /path/to/bwdata/logs/identity/Identity/log.txt

Can be easily scheduled (using cron for example) everyday at 00:00 👍
