for some helpful config, the below is the logging config I have and logs have never been an issue.
You can even add 'logfile' => '/some/location/nextcloud.log', to get the logs in a different place
'logtimezone' => 'UTC',
'logdateformat' => 'Y-m-d H:i:s',
'loglevel' => 2,
'log_rotate_size' => 52428800,
You should always setup logrotate. Yes the good old Linux logrotate...
I don't disagree that logrotate is a sensible answer here, but making that the responsibility of the user is silly.
We should each not have to configure log rotation for every individual service. That would require identify what and how it logs data in the first place, then implementing a logrotate config. Services should include a reasonable default in logrotate.d as part of their install package.
Docker services should let docker handle it, and the user could then manage it through Docker or forward to some other logging service (syslog, systemd, etc). Processes in containers shouldn't touch rotation or anything, just log levels and maybe which types of logs go to stdout vs stderr.
