Hi All

/var/log is not writable by user nemo, so what is a good location for my
log files then?

I log certain events to journalctl, but I also would want app specific log
file(s) for longer term analysis. /var/log looked like a good place,
because it is standard and cleaned once in a while, so I don't need to care
about deleting own old logs.

So is /var/log not writable by mistake?
Or where shall I create my log files instead?
And do I have to clean them myself or can I somehow register them for
deletion once a month or so?

Cheers,
Artem.
