Very large log files #1544

Hello!

I think, gitlab container takes up a lot of disk space.

root@edc9dbd271eb:/var/log/gitlab# du --max-depth=1 -h
1.5G    ./nginx
8.8G    ./gitlab
286M    ./gitlab-shell
735M    ./supervisor
12G .

May be exists cron script for cleaning up old logs?

drujd commented 6 years ago 
root@8da3f4eb72b2:/home/git/gitlab# /etc/cron.daily/logrotate
error: /etc/logrotate.conf:7 unknown group 'syslog'

But that's probably not just it. Logrotate needs some different default config, gitlab logs can grow a LOT over 52 weeks...

Can log rotate be fixed in upcoming release? Is it something that needs to be fixed in ubuntu base image?

drujd commented 6 years ago

The problem with "unknown group 'syslog'" has already been fixed and merged. Another possible problem is that sidekiq has its own log rotation that conflicts with logrotate.

I have solved this by disabling sidekiq rotation, modifying logrotate settings (to rotate based on size) and running logrotate hourly, not daily.

@drujd do you do the logrotate in the host system or in the container? https://github.com/sameersbn/docker-gitlab/issues/1544#issuecomment-384103487
