Description

I was surprised to see that there is no logrotate configuration for the Ubuntu package. I only realised once the server ran out of space :D Here's what I ended up using:

var/log/openresty/*.log {
  daily
  missingok
  rotate 52
  compress
  delaycompress
  notifempty
  create 640 root root
  sharedscripts
  postrotate
    if [ -f /usr/local/openresty/nginx/logs/nginx.pid ]; then
      kill -USR1 `cat /usr/local/openresty/nginx/logs/nginx.pid`
    fi
  endscript
}

This is basically the same as the nginx Ubuntu 20.04 package's configuration with a tweak to the pid file location and the user and group of the log file ownership.
