issues related to any server side code, fw-headless included
I ran into docker/desktop-linux#102 today, which was filling up my /var/log/syslog file and thus also my root partition. (It was also filling up the systemd journal, but the systemd journal is capped at 4 GB on my system while I don't have syslog capped). We should probably update the README section for Linux devs to include the workaround, which is to create a systemd drop-in file in your user configuration location (
$HOME/.config/systemd/user/docker-desktop-service.d
), as follows:mkdir -p $HOME/.config/systemd/user/docker-desktop-service.d
$HOME/.config/systemd/user/docker-desktop-service.d/no-log-spam.conf
(it can be any filename, as long as it's in that directory and ends in.conf
) with the following content:No urgency to this task, because we don't expect any new Linux devs to join the team in the next few weeks. But it would be nice to give any new Linux devs a heads-up so they don't also experience their hard disk filling up with debug log messages.
