Compression doesn't seem to work using docker-compose

[janhollez]

I'm using this in my docker-compose.yml:

 logrotate:                                                                                                                                                        
    image: "blacklabelops/logrotate"                                                                                                                                
    volumes:                                                                                                                                                        
      - /var/lib/docker/containers:/var/lib/docker/containers                                                                                                       
    environment:                                                                                                                                                    
      - LOGS_DIRECTORIES=/var/lib/docker/containers                                                                                                                 
      - LOGROTATE_INTERVAL=hourly                                                                                                                                   
      - LOGROTATE_COPIES=7                                                                                                                                          
      - LOGROTATE_SIZE=10M                                                                                                                                          
      - LOGROTATE_COMPRESSION=compress    

I don't see any compression when it rotates.
The logs were also much bigger when I first ran it and it didn't split it up in files of max 10M size, it just moved the old file to .1

Did you setup LOGROTATE_INTERVAL or LOGROTATE_CRONSCHEDULE. By default logrotate will only do compgres, copy, ... ONCE at middle night.
If you want logrotate act more frequently, please set up LOGROTATE_INTERVAL=hourly (every hour) or LOGROTATE_CRONSCHEDULE=0 */30 * * * * (every 30mins)
