Cleanup old logs

[Sblop]

Hi all,

My postgres db for komodo has grown into 150 mb. Yes, in the grand scheme of things, this is not much, I would however love to create an action for cleaning up old log entries, which could run as a maintenance job. Delete everything older than eg 30 days or so.

I have been looking in the docs.rs files, and it does not seem this is possible with this approach.
Looking into the database itself, I am not experienced in ferretdb, so I am not certain what I can remove.
Finally I asked chatgpt, but got no immediately usefull answer...

Anybody knows how to do this?

Did you have any luck figuring this out?

if you aren't using a remote logger then i recommend setting the following in your daemon.json file

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

restart the daemon, and any new containers created will now rotate their log files, existing containers will need to be recreated in order for this to take effect
