How can I set up logging rotation in Docker Compose?

You can set up logging rotation in Docker Compose by configuring the logging options in your docker-compose.yml file. You can specify options like max-size and max-file under the logging configuration for your services.

Can you show me an example of the configuration?

Sure! Here's an example:

version: '3'
services:
  app:
    image: your-image
    logging:
      driver: "json-file"
      options:
        max-size: "10m"
        max-file: "3"

What do max-size and max-file do?

max-size limits the size of each log file, while max-file specifies the maximum number of log files to keep. This helps manage disk space.

Is there a way to view the logs after setting this up?

Yes! You can view the logs using the command docker-compose logs or docker logs <container_id> for specific containers.
