Docker container logs taking all my disk space

Question

I am running a container on a VM. My container is writing logs by default to /var/lib/docker/containers/CONTAINER_ID/CONTAINER_ID-json.log file until the disk is full.

Answer 1

Example for docker-compose version 1:

mongo:
  image: mongo:3.6.16
  restart: unless-stopped
  log_opt:
    max-size: 1m
    max-file: "10"
