minus-square@Pacmanliveslink3•1 month agoActually something I never dug into. But does logrotate no longer work? I have a bunch of disk space these days so I would not notice large log files
minus-squareMorethanevillinkfedilink2•edit-21 month agoIf logrotate doesn’t work, than use this as a cronjob via sudo crontab -e Put this line at the end of the file: 0 0 * * * journalctl --vacuum-size=1G >/dev/null 2>&1 Everyday the logs will be trimmed to 1GB. Usually the logs are trimmed automatically at 4GB, but sometimes this does not work

minus-squareMorethanevillinkfedilink3•1 month agoCron is better known than a systemd timer, but you can provide an example for the timer 😃
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•edit-21 month agoReally, the correct way would be to set the limit you want for journald. Put this into /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/00-journal-size.conf: [Journal] SystemMaxUse=50M Or something like this using a timer: systemd-run --timer-property=OnCalender=daily $COMMAND
