The biggest footgun I encounter every time I set up a raspberry pi or other linux host for a side project is forgetting that Docker doesn't do log rotation for containers' logs by default, which results in the service going down and seeing a sweat inducing ENOSPC error when you ssh in to check it out.

You can configure this by creating /etc/docker/daemon.json and either setting up log rotation with log-opts or using the local logging driver (it defaults to json) if you're not shipping container logs anywhere and just read the logs locally. The local driver compresses the logs and automatically does log rotation:

{
  "log-driver": "local",
  "log-opts": {
     "max-size": "10m",
     "max-file": "3"
  }
}
