How to restrict Docker container logs size to a predefined value

Question

What is the default log rotation strategy used by Docker for container logs.

How I can restrict the docker container log size to be max 1g and rotate if the size goes bigger.

Answer 1

AFAIU,

Using docker run -
--log-opt max-size=1g

using compose -

logging:
  options:
    max-size: 1g

Also, you can set it globally by updating daemon config, generally /etc/docker/daemon.json (Thanks @Stan for suggestion)
