Docker logs files eats the free space, clearing the Docker logs files is necessary.

Here is a way .

1. run nano /home/maximo/void-logs-containers.sh and write this content in it :
   #!/bin/bash
   for container in $(docker ps -q); do
   echo "Clearing logs for $container"
   sudo echo "" > $(docker inspect --format="{{.LogPath}}" $container)
   done

(save : ctrl+O, close : ctrl+X, make it executable : chmod +x)

2. Run it manually : sudo /home/maximo/void-logs-containers.sh

3. Plan its automatic execution (root) :
   sudo bash
   crontab -e
   (select nano, choice 1)
   (add some lines for running it at desired hours)
