I 've got more than 400 Go of logs :

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Just run docker all day long…

Hi and welcome to Docker forums!

This thread discuss the same issue:

Log files grow unconditionally, will eat all the disk space

Expected behavior Actual behavior Log files under ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/com.docker.driver.amd64-linux/log/ grow unconditionally, ex: dmesg, docker.log (several GBs), and vsudd.log (near 1 GB) Information Docker for Mac Beta Steps to reproduce the behavior After running several days/weeks, log files will grow as large as you can image

*Note: I previously linked to another thread that I mistakenly though was related, but was not.

If so, please add your info in that thread so that the Docker staff can track the issue from one place.

HTH,
Alexandre

Hey Guys,

I met the same issue, it is mainly the log files allocate too much space.

Can i remove all those log files? And is there a way to control the log rotation and file size?

[aleveille (Alexandre)]

Yeah, logs can be safely deleted (as a precaution, I turn Docker off before doing so).

Here´s a potential work-around. Create a daemon.json file with the contents below: it will limit the size of the log file (and also make them less verbose…)

$ pinata set daemon @daemon.json
daemon.json -> {“log-driver”:“json-file”,“log-opt”:[{“max-size”:“2m”},{“max-file”:“5”}],“log-level”:“info”}
$ pinata restart
