Edit /etc/systemd/journald.conf file to enable SystemMaxUse and set it
equal to some value that will give you enough but not too much logs. I
use 128M. If you have files building up in /var/log, every month I
delete all the .gz archived logs. This is an example script:
#!/bin/bash
echo "delete-old-logs"
rm -v /var/log/*.gz
rm -v /var/log/apache2/*.gz
rm -v /var/log/apt/*.gz
rm -v /var/log/cups/*.gz
rm -v /var/log/lightdm/*.gz
rm -v /var/log/unattended-upgrades/*.gz
Change or add to the list above according to you actual needs.
8GB if you have a desktop installed is probably a little small for
Bookworm. I tell my employer he needs to use a 16GB uSD for Bookworm
with a desktop. 8GB was fine on Buster but just isn't enough any more.
