How to clear the logs properly for a Docker container?

Question

I use docker logs [container-name] to see the logs of a specific container.

Is there an elegant way to clear these logs?

Answer 1

As a root user, try to run the following:

>  /var/lib/docker/containers/*/*-json.log

or

cat /dev/null > /var/lib/docker/containers/*/*-json.log

or

echo "" > /var/lib/docker/containers/*/*-json.log
