Nc is great, it really is amazing that it is foss. Sure it isn’t the slickest or fastest, and it does need more maintenance than most foss services, but it is also more complex and has so many great features.
I really recommend nc, 99% of the time it just works for me. It just seems that their docker was done pretty poorly imo, but still it just works most of the time.
Look, defaults are a thing and if your defaults suck then you’ve made a mistake and if your default is to save a 100GB of log file in one file then something is wrong. The default in Dockers should just be not to save any log files on the persistent volumes.
