Massive log file size. #28

Closed supremacy2k closed 6 years ago

supremacy2k commented 7 years ago

Jackett eats a good amount of space in log files. Is it possible to add logrotate to jackett log files within the container?

You have to understand at the core of Docker which is running one application inside of a container. What you are all talking about would be to add logrotate to this image and have it run as a seperate daemon.

From a docker perspective you can set a max size for logs (the stdout information) using the following syntax: 

--log-opt max-size=10m --log-opt max-file=3

As for Jackett logs the developers really should bake that into their application or provide an option to disable them. I highly recommend getting in contact with them here to get that feature implemented. At the very least being able to disable logs should not be a big change considering they already have a debugging flag for logs in the WebUI.

@thelamer jackett has log rotate build in (3M max). I would suggest to add the docker log options to the readme.
