Horrible Solution: How to delete all docker logs 2

Recently, we needed to delete the logs of a running docker setup. To do so, we used the following horrible solution:

First, we executed docker system info | grep "Docker Root Dir";to get the installation path of docker. It resulted to the following:

Docker Root Dir: /var/lib/docker

Then, we truncated all log files using the following command while executing as root:

truncate -s 0 /var/lib/docker/containers/*/*-json.log;

Bonus

To make the command a onliner, use the following:

sudo sh -c 'truncate -s 0 $(docker system info | grep "Docker Root Dir" | cut -d ":" -f2 | cut -d " " -f2-)/containers/*/*-json.log';
