Vieter stores the logs of every single package build. While this is great for
|
2022-12-19 11:58:35 +01:00
|
|
|
debugging why builds fail, it also causes an active or long-running Vieter
|
2022-12-19 09:47:53 +01:00
|
|
|
instance to accumulate thousands of logs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To combat this, a log removal daemon can be enabled that periodically removes
|
|
|
|
|
old build logs. By starting your server with the `max_log_age` variable (see
|
2022-12-19 11:58:35 +01:00
|
|
|
[Configuration](/configuration#vieter-server)), a daemon will get enabled that
|
|
|
|
|
periodically removes logs older than this setting. By default, this will happen
|
|
|
|
|
every day at midnight, but this behavior can be changed using the
|
|
|
|
|
`log_removal_schedule` variable.

**Note**
|
|
|
|
|
The daemon will always run a removal of logs on startup. Therefore, it's
|
|
|
|
|
possible the daemon will be *very* active when first enabling this setting.
|
|
|
|
|
After the initial surge of logs to remove, it'll calm down again.
