Docker container log file fills up disk

[marioverhaeg]

Hi,
I'm running Ditto based on the docker compose script. After a while my disk is running out of disk space. This seems to be related to the size of the log file. This is growing without limits in all containers.

-rw-r----- 1 root root 11750122173 Nov 11 07:28 0d86f44b961c545a6b4eb00e1ef627dfecc5d33af025748b5e33a3f6abdb6c87-json.log
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Oct 27 10:09 checkpoints
-rw------- 1 root root 7319 Nov 11 07:28 config.v2.json
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1552 Nov 11 07:28 hostconfig.json
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13 Oct 27 10:09 hostname
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 174 Oct 27 10:09 hosts
drwx--x--- 3 root root 4096 Oct 27 10:09 mounts
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38 Oct 27 10:09 resolv.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 71 Oct 27 10:09 resolv.conf.hash

In this container it has grown over 11GB.

Docker compose has ways to limit log file consumption. Would it be possible to embed this?

Hi.
If course, if this helps you, a Pull Request is welcome.
I do not really expect docker compose to be used for productive scenarios, but we will accept contributions improving on that.

Hi Thomas,
That will be my first PR ever, but I'll take your suggestion as a small challenge :-) . I'll do some testing first and will come back to this.
