Wipe your Docker Logs

# I am aware this can be handled via configuration instead.
# But sometimes, a script that solves the problem is better.
# This CAN cause issues if this runs while docker is appending logs to the file.
# It is possibly that if you use this, `docker logs` will throw an error due to a partial log entry being present and unparsable by docker.
# Don't use this if you don't understand what I just said in the line above.
