[SOLVED] /var/log is getting full and it looks like Docker is causing it

[furtive]

Fix Common Problems sent me here as it is reporting that /var/log is getting full. I've attached my diagnostics zip and have also runthe command du -sm /var/log/* which gave this output:

 

0       /var/log/btmp
0       /var/log/cron
0       /var/log/debug
1       /var/log/dmesg
1       /var/log/docker.log
95      /var/log/docker.log.1

0       /var/log/setup
0       /var/log/spooler
0       /var/log/swtpm
1       /var/log/syslog
5       /var/log/syslog.1
1       /var/log/wtmp

 

Any idea what could be causing the issue or how I can figure out which Docker image is filling the log?

 

Thanks.

solved

I think I've managed to answer my own question. The log for "Home Assistant-Core" is massive and full of errors caused by my AV receiver, so I've deleted that from HA and rebooted my server. Will see if it fixes the problem.

Yup, that seems to have fixed it, so marking as solved.
