cloudwalk/logs repository overview

⁠CloudWalk Docker logs

This is a container that mounts /var/log/docker for others containers to use as a centralized log repository. The only process executed inside the container is logrotate, executed twice a day to keep the size of our logs files bounded. You can configure logrotate in file logrotate_docker.conf⁠

Additionaly, if we want logs persistence, we can bind it to host's /var/log/docker, so that we don't lose our logs data in case of container's failure.

⁠Usage

sudo docker run --name logs -v /var/log/docker:/var/log/docker -d cloudwalk/logs

We use the -v flag to bind host's to container's mount points. In case we want to bind different directories, note the order: -v /host/dir:/container/dir.
