Docker logging solution? (sh.itjust.works)

What is everyone using for their logging solution? So far I’ve not really done anything and just tail the container log when something is going wrong but a more long term, robust log aggregator would be great.

At work I’ve used things like data dog and sumo logic for logs and would love a small self hosted version of that. I don’t think I need long log retention (more than a day or two) but retention + search and maybe the option to create custom aggregations based on those logs would be awesome.

At work we use the syslog log driver for docker. Essentially any container stdout gets pushed in to the system syslog that then gets ingested into splunk through one of their forwarders. We needed more than just container logs so that's the reason for that. For a home setup I'd probably do the same but use the ELK stack instead of splunk.
