Automated Bash installer for **journal log rotation and cleanup** on Ubuntu 24.04 Server.
Auto-cleanup systemd journal logs on Ubuntu 24.04 server.
This script configures a scheduled **weekly cleanup of journalctl logs**, keeping the last **3 days** of system logs — enough for debugging without filling storage.
This is not a test script.
This is designed for stable long-term use with predictable disk usage.
Fire-and-forget. Install once, logs stay under control forever.
## Why this installer exists
System logs grow silently until they cause trouble. This prevents that automatically.
## What this installer does
✔ Weekly rotation + vacuum cleanup
✔ Keeps only last 3 days of logs
✔ Lightweight, hands-off operation
✔ Fully automated via cron
## What this installer does *NOT* do
It won’t stop you from running the script without reading the documentation like there’s no tomorrow.
Skip the README, and whatever happens next is your headache, not a bug report.
