上次想清理Docker的日志,搜索了一遍没有找到,就简单粗暴的采用重建的方式来解决,但有个问题,每次生成的Docker image名字都不同,有些脚本与名字相关,改来改去麻烦,就来问问ChatGPT,看看他们的结果能不能解决问题。

问:howto cleanthe docker log

 1To clean the Docker log, you can follow these steps:
 2
 31. Access the Docker host machine where the logs are stored.
 4
 52. Stop all running Docker containers to prevent any new log entries from being created.
 6
 73. Locate the log files on the host machine. By default, Docker log files are stored in
 8 the `/var/lib/docker/containers` directory.
 9
104. Delete the log files that you want to clean. You can either remove specific log files
11 or delete all files within the `containers` directory to clean all logs.
12
135. Restart the Docker service and start your containers again.
14
15Note: Cleaning the Docker log will permanently delete the log entries, so make sure to
16 back up any important logs before proceeding. Additionally, remember that log files 
17 can consume a significant amount of disk space, so regular log maintenance is
18  recommended to keep your system running smoothly.

这个回答是正确的,即删除/var/lib/docker/containers下的所有文件即可,然后重启Docker,注意我用了错误的拼写:cleanthe,ChatGPT都能正确识别。

1rm -rf /var/lib/docker/containers/*

 1Hello! I'm happy to help you with your question. However, I would like to point out that 
 2the term "docker log" could be interpreted in different ways, and it's not clear what 
 3you're referring to. Are you talking about the logs generated by a Docker container,
 4 or perhaps the logs related to the Docker daemon itself?
 5
 6Assuming you're referring to the logs generated by a Docker container, here are some 
 7steps you can follow to clean them up:
 8
 91. Stop the container: Before you can clean up the logs, you need to stop the container 
10that's generating the logs. You can do this by running the command 
11`docker stop <container_name>`.
122. Remove the container: Once the container is stopped, you can remove it by running 
13the command `docker rm <container_name>`.
143. Remove the logs: After removing the container, you can remove the logs by running 
15the command `docker logs --remove <container_name>`.
164. Clean up the log directory: If you want to clean up the log directory entirely, you 
17can run the command `docker logs --cleanup`. This will remove all logs from the directory.
18
19Please note that these steps are general guidelines and may not apply to every 
20situation. It's always a good idea to backup your logs before cleaning them up, just in
21 case something goes wrong.
22
23Additionally, I would like to remind you that it's important to be mindful of the 
24impact of cleaning up logs, as they can be useful for troubleshooting and auditing 
25purposes. If you're unsure about what logs to clean up or how to do it safely, 
26it's always best to consult with a qualified IT professional or seek guidance from 
27Docker's official documentation.

Llama胡诌了一个--remove的指令出来,显然不对。

 1To clean a Docker container's log, you can use the 'docker logs' command with 
 2the '--tail' option followed by the number of lines to keep.
 3
 4For example, to keep only the last 100 lines of logs:
 5
 6
 7docker logs CONTAINER_NAME --tail 100
 8
 9
10You can also truncate or delete the logs entirely by calling 'docker logs' without 
11any options:
12
13docker logs CONTAINER_NAME
14
15This will clear out any existing logs. Keep in mind this will also stop logging 
16going forward until the container is restarted.
17
18For a one-time cleanout without affecting future logging, you can use 'docker exec' 
19to run a command inside the container to clear the logs:
20
21docker exec CONTAINER_NAME rm /path/to/logs/*
22
23Replace /path/to/logs with the actual path to the log files inside the container. 
24This allows you to clean logs while leaving logging enabled for new data.
25
26Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Claude提供了一个新的思路,用exec,我查看了一下文档,的确是对Docker实例的OS进行操作,显然,这种方式删除日志也是可以的。

Oh,不对,本来文章可以结束了,但我进一步尝试了一下,这只能删除实例操作系统(Guest)相关的日志, 而Docker的实例的(docker logs)相关的日志,并不存在实例操作系统内,而是存在/var/lib/container,如:

 1total 12044
 2drwxr-xr-x 3 root root     4096 Jan 25 01:03 .
 3drwx--x--- 3 root root     4096 Jan 25 01:03 ..
 4-rw-r----- 1 root root 12294469 Jan 25 02:33 59fee0065f6e23311232381c463127541a46a5cda91ca1203463f40352520a31-json.log
 5-rw------- 1 root root     3766 Jan 25 01:03 config.v2.json
 6-rw------- 1 root root     1652 Jan 25 01:03 hostconfig.json
 7-rw-r--r-- 1 root root       16 Jan 25 01:03 hostname
 8-rw-r--r-- 1 root root      557 Jan 25 01:03 hosts
 9drwx--x--- 2 root root     4096 Jan 25 01:03 mounts
10-rw-r--r-- 1 root root       70 Jan 25 01:03 resolv.conf
