Reading time: 2 – 3 minutes
Sometimes when a container is running for a long time especially when docker logs command is called the logs dump is extra long and then a recurrent search on google for reminding how to truncate a file is mandatory for avoiding this repeating task this is the trick that it saves me from that uncomfortable long log dump.
truncate -s 0 $(docker inspect --format='{{.LogPath}}' CONTAINER_ID)
