To enable docker log rotation to be the default on all created containers:

-Create /etc/docker/daemon.json and restart docker

vim /etc/docker/daemon.json


{
  "log-driver": "json-file",
  "log-opts": {
    "max-size": "10m",
    "max-file": "3" 
  }
}


#Restart Docker
systemctl restart docker

Notice that it won’t apply to existing containers. You may recreate them to have the setting applied or stop docker service and go to each container’s hostconfig.jason file and edit as follows:

Your container (abc) is located on /var/lib/docker/containers/abc/

vim /var/lib/docker/containers/abc/hostconfig.jason

In the file, look for:

{"Type":"json-file","Config":{}}

and change that to:

{"Type":"json-file","Config":{"max-file":"3","max-size":"10m"}}

then

systemctl start docker

* Remember that docker must be stopped before the change, otherwise docker engine will revert the changes.
