📄 Description

Add logrotate config for Traefik access logs when CrowdSec is installed

Fixes #2644

Documentation Update : https://github.com/fosrl/docs-v2/pull/98

What and why

The default Pangolin install does not enable Traefik access logging.
When CrowdSec is selected during installation, the installer enables Traefik access logs (required for CrowdSec to detect threats).

These logs are written to:
config/traefik/logs/access.log (on the host)

Without log rotation, this file grows indefinitely, which is the issue reported in #2644.

This change fixes the problem only in the CrowdSec installation path, keeping the default install unaffected.

What changed

File modified: install/crowdsec.go

  • Added a new function: setupTraefikLogRotate()
  • This function is called from installCrowdsec() immediately after the directory config/traefik/logs/ is created.
  • The function writes a logrotate configuration file to /etc/logrotate.d/pangolin-traefik using the absolute path to the access log (resolved from the install directory).

Logrotate configuration written:

/opt/pangolin/config/traefik/logs/access.log {
    daily
    rotate 7
    compress
    delaycompress
    missingok
    notifempty
    copytruncate
}

Note: copytruncate is the key directive. It copies the log file and then truncates the original in place.
This allows Traefik to continue writing to the same open file descriptor without needing a restart or SIGHUP signal.

If the installer is not running as root, it skips writing the file and instead prints the full configuration to stdout (with the actual resolved path), allowing the user to set it up manually.

Testing

The generated config was validated directly with logrotate:

# Check that the config parses cleanly
logrotate --debug /etc/logrotate.d/pangolin-traefik

# Force rotation (first time)
logrotate --force --state /tmp/test.state /etc/logrotate.d/pangolin-traefik

# Force rotation again (second time)
logrotate --force --state /tmp/test.state /etc/logrotate.d/pangolin-traefik

Observed behavior:

  • access.log is truncated in place after each rotation (Traefik’s file handle remains valid)
  • Most recent rotated file stays uncompressed for easy inspection (delaycompress)
  • Older files are compressed to .gz
  • After 7 rotations, the oldest file is automatically deleted

No changes were made to the default (non-CrowdSec) installation path as suggested by @oschwartz10612.

PS : Can someone please go through this comment and verify if a follow up PR like this is required where we are dropping the unused fields from crowdsec installation?
