Is there a way to increase the log size in docker when building a container?

In the output when building, I am getting this message:

[output clipped, log limit 1MiB reached]

from the command

docker build --progress plain .

The current workaround I have is to pipe larger sections of the RUN command in the dockerfile to /dev/null i.e.

RUN \
 echo "**** install packages ****" && \
 apt-get update && \
 apt-get install -y libcairo2-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev libpng-dev libtool-bin libossp-uuid-dev wget maven default-jdk > /dev/null

With the key link provided by @Luke Deluccia, this is what worked for me.

docker buildx create --use --name larger_log --driver-opt env.BUILDKIT_STEP_LOG_MAX_SIZE=50000000
docker buildx build --progress plain .

This creates a buildx instance, and sets buildx to use the instance when building. This did not clip the logs during the build process.

The other solution is for docker buildx, but some might want a fix for docker build with DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1. The following works for me on ubuntu18.04 and docker version 5:20.10.3~3-0~ubuntu-bionic.

# cat /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/env.conf 
[Service]
Environment="BUILDKIT_STEP_LOG_MAX_SIZE=1073741824" # you might want to tweak this
Environment="BUILDKIT_STEP_LOG_MAX_SPEED=10240000"

Then:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart docker.service
