🐛 [Bug]: LOG_FILE_ENDINGS with no effect #1
Description
Contact Details
What happened?
Logrotation affects too many files.
Let's say I use this configuration:
177 volumes:
178 - ./log/apache2/:/var/log/apache2
179 - ./data/logrotate:/logrotate-status
180
181 environment:
182 TZ: Europe/Berlin
183 LOGROTATE_STATUSFILE: /logrotate-status/logrotate.status
184 LOGS_DIRECTORIES: /var/log
185 LOGROTATE_CRONSCHEDULE: "0 35 23 * * *"
186 LOGROTATE_COPIES: 30
187 LOGROTATE_SIZE: 10M
188 LOGROTATE_DATEFORMAT: "-%Y%m%d"
189 LOGROTATE_COMPRESSION: compress
190 LOG_FILE_ENDINGS: logand my log dir has the following structure:
log/
log/mail
log/apache2
log/apache2/error.log
log/apache2/other_vhosts_access.log
log/apache2/access.log
log/apache2/do-no-rotate
I would expect that do-not-rotate will not getting rotated, because LOG_FILE_ENDINGS are set to log and this file is missing this suffix. The docker logs suggest, that the file is going to get rotated anyway:

It also did a logrotate on rotated files like /var/log/apache2/access.log-20251021-20251022-20251023-20251024.
