any way to limit "docker logs" output by default?
One way to limit docker logs is to specify limits in docker daemon's config file.
You can put this in /etc/docker/daemon.json
{
  &quot;log-driver&quot;: &quot;json-file&quot;,
  &quot;log-opts&quot;: {
    &quot;max-size&quot;: &quot;10m&quot;,
    &quot;max-file&quot;: &quot;3&quot; 
  }
}

and then restart your docker daemon.
