    Cleanup

    Check current disk usage:

    sudo journalctl --disk-usage

    Use rotate function:

    sudo journalctl --rotate

    Or

    Remove all logs and keep the last 2 days:

    sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=2days

    Or

    Remove all logs and only keep the last 100MB:

    sudo journalctl --vacuum-size=100M

    How to read logs:

    Follow specific log for a service:

    sudo journalctl -fu SERVICE

    Show extended log info and print the last lines of a service:

    sudo journalctl -xeu SERVICE

      I mean yeah -fu stands for “follow unit” but its also a nice coincidence when it comes to debugging that particular service.
