Hi and welcome to Docker forums!

This thread discuss the same issue:

*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,

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?

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
