Docker host environment /var/log/daemon.log slowly fills host disk space

This caused an outage for most of the day; clearly some logrotate settings need to be adjusted.

As it turns out; logrotate was already set up correctly! It's just that it runs only 1x/day unless you specifically set it up to run more often. I've done that now.

Did you consider limiting the containers' logs too? I usually add something like this to docker's daemon.json

{
	"log-driver": "json-file",
	"log-opts": {"max-size": "10m", "max-file": "3"}
}

[coddingtonbear]

Didn't, but only kind of know what I'm doing! I'm not sure how much time you have these days, but are you up for helping maintain things?

[renefritze]

Sorry, no. I cannot commit to any continuous help.

@coddingtonbear , I think it's happening again. I would like to try to help you maintain this.

Fixed, @DanielSchetritt -- thanks for the heads-up ! Awesome; thanks for offering. I'm planning on putting out an official call for maintainers soon (probably via a toast message when logging-in to the site). Click on that link when you see it.
