Just in case I’ve got the wrong end of the stick, I need to make my change in the container in `/etc/logrotate.d/nginx` ?

If so - when I rebuild the container the configuration change will be lost. It’s not persisted outside the container like configuration I specify in app.yml. I need to write and run a script of my own to maintain my configuration.
