I set it to debug at somepoint and forgot maybe? Idk, but why the heck does the default config of the official Docker is to keep all logs, forever, in a single file woth no rotation?

Feels like 101 of log files. Anyway, this explains why my storage recipt grew slowly but unexpectedly.

    Are you crazy? I understand that we are used to dumbed down stuff, but come on…

    Rotating logs is in the ABC of any sysadmin, even before backups.

    First, secure your ssh logins, then secure your logs, then your fail2ban then your backups…

    To me, that’s in the basic stuff you must always ensure.

      Logration is the abc of the developer.
      Why should I need 3rd party tools to fix the work of the developer??

        Why is that? Really? The Dev should replace a system function? And implement over and over again the same errors when logrotate exist?

      This is a docker! If your docker is marketed as ready to go and all-in-one, it should have basic things like that.

      If I were running this as a full system with a user base then of course I would go over everything and make sure it all makes sebse for my needs. But since my needs were just a running nc instance, it would make sense to run a simple docker with mostly default config. If your docker by default has terrible config, then you are missing the point a bit.

        Dockers images are often incoherent and just different from one a other so much that you should never give something as expected and doublecheck the basics.

        Docker was never meant do deploy services, and I shows.

      Those should also all be secure by default. What is this, Windows?

        Just basic checks I prefer to ensure, not leave to distribution good faith. If all is set, good to go. Otherwise, fix and move on.

        Specially with self hosted stuff that is a bit more custom than the usual.
