Rotate logs?

[adilinden]

Describe the issue you are having

Log files are simply growing (forever?) I see there is the LOGFILE_RETENTION variable but it seems to clean up old files, it doesn't actually trigger the creation of new log files. Currently LOGFILE_RETENTION is not specified in .env, so assuming the 3560 default value is in effect.

How are you running the container(s)

version: '2'
services:
  dns:
    image: lancachenet/lancache-dns:latest
    env_file: .env
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - ${DNS_BIND_IP}:53:53/udp
      - ${DNS_BIND_IP}:53:53/tcp
  monolithic:
    image: lancachenet/monolithic:latest
    env_file: .env
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 80:80/tcp
      - 443:443/tcp
    volumes:
      - ${CACHE_ROOT}/cache:/data/cache
      - ${CACHE_ROOT}/logs:/data/logs

DNS Configuration

DNS is part of monolithic

Output of container(s)

i would advise using log rotate (this might help https://docs.rackspace.com/support/how-to/understanding-logrotate-utility/) below is an example of what you use for a postrotate script to help the container let go of the log file.

daily
rotate 7
size 10M
compress
delaycompress
postrotate
    if test $(docker ps -q --filter "name=lancache_monolithic_1"); then docker exec lancache_monolithic_1 sh -c 'kill -USR1 $(cat /var/run/nginx.pid)'; fi
endscript
}```

It works! Thanks!
