How do I set up logrotate on my server?

To set up logrotate, you need to create a configuration file in /etc/logrotate.d/. What logs do you want to manage?

I want to manage the Apache access and error logs.

Great! You can create a file named 'apache' in /etc/logrotate.d/ with the following content:

/var/log/apache2/*.log {
    daily
    missingok
    rotate 14
    compress
    delaycompress
    notifempty
    create 640 www-data adm
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        systemctl reload apache2 > /dev/null
    endscript
}

This will rotate the logs daily and keep 14 days of logs.

Do I need to restart any services after setting this up?

No need to restart any services. Logrotate runs automatically based on the cron schedule. You can test your configuration with logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf to see what would happen.
