Script to empty all logs in all containers.

[larod241]

Hello,

would it be possible to make a script that would automatically purge the logs of all containers?
/var/log/syslog
/var/log/syslog.*
/var/log/demon.log
/var/log/demon.*
etc etc

Thanks !

How about rm -rf /var/{cache,log}/* /var/lib/apt/lists/* for a good clean

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/misc/clean-lxcs.sh)"

Let me know watcha think

only for apt package manager (Debian/Ubuntu)

UPDATED
What the script does:

• apt-get -y --purge autoremove
• apt-get -y autoclean
• find /var/cache -type f (Lists cache then gives option to delete)
• find /var/log -type f (Lists logs then gives option to delete)
• rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* (removes apt lists)
• apt-get update (repopulate apt lists)

Leaves directory structure intact
