Safe to truncate /home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/* when large disk consumer?

[d19dotca]

@girish - I was wanting to follow-up on this. The defect still seems to exist. Right now, despite me running about 41 apps, I only have several in the logrotate.d folder:

ubuntu@my:/home/yellowtent/platformdata$ ls -alh logrotate.d/
total 60K

@d19dotca if you reconfigure the location of one of the missing apps, does the logrotate config file show up afterwards? I am wondering if something is purging them after they are created. Looking at the code I cannot spot why it wouldn't create that file.

[d19dotca]

@nebulon Yes, I think I've mentioned that before too. Re-saving from the Location tab on each app regenerates the logrotate file and finally the logrotates will proceed successfully.

I know @girish confirmed that he saw the same behaviour on one of your (or his) servers too. So this definitely seems to be a Cloudron bug that needs fixing.

This issue has been sitting a long time (confirmed/reproduced in February 2021), so hoping this gets resolved soon because this keeps causing issues on my server when it comes to disk space consumption alerts.

@nebulon @girish - This is still an issue by the way. Hoping this fix comes soon! I just checked my server after migrating it over the weekend, and I only have 2 apps in the logrotate.d directory. Having to go through 35 apps now to reinitialize that for proper log maintenance.

[girish]

@d19dotca I found the issue finally! After a cloudron update, all the old logrotate configs are removed. This was added many releases ago to regenerate new logrotate configs and we forgot to remove the line after that release. Fixed it now.

@girish yay! Haha, thank you so much!!! That one was really annoying even though minor. Lol. It happens after a Cloudron migration (not just upgrade) and stuff too FYI but I’m assuming you already knew that.

Edit: actually maybe not… I also had upgraded Cloudron the very next day so I likely just saw the result of that instead. Ignore me. glad it’s fixed though!!
