High disk usage

Hi, anyone know why my homarr docker container would bloat and use up any free HDD space? Earlier today it was sitting at 79G disk usage until I restarted it... - OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Proxmox VM) - Homarr Version 1.4.0 - Can't attach the logs. They include private keys for the integrations, and seem to go on forever. Found the disk usage was in /var/lib/docker/containers, and ran the following to find the culprit: 
root@docker01:/var/lib/docker/containers# du -sh */

Then I found the name of the container using the disk space: 
root@docker01:/var/lib/docker/containers# docker ps -a --filter "id=d22e1d61da48a65cf4a9613660ebaffc0eb1c10e2a959cbc140bb0e7d0bd26ea" --format "{{.ID}} {{.Names}}"
d22e1d61da48 homarr

d22e1d61da48 homarr
There were some integrations with bad config (wrong DNS entry), but it seems weird that the homarr container should use 79G of disk space anyway... Docker compose config in comments.
Solution:
See https://github.com/homarr-labs/homarr/issues/2204, please limit the log size on your host. Also, we reduced the logging for the next release.

After some further investigation it seems the issue is because of the docker log file, and the bad endpoint for my integrations. Homarr seems to spit out the logs as fast as it possibly can when trying to reconnect to an integration.. I will try to fix the issues with my integrations and see if the log stops. The log stopped after fixing the integrations. It went from about 100MB / minute to nothing. Seems excessive to log this much... ?
