AutoGPT has missing Docker log rotation on platform containers that allows host disk-exhaustion DoS

AutoGPT is a platform that allows users to create, deploy, and manage continuous artificial intelligence agents that automate complex workflows. In AutoGPT, the execution process is recorded to the console (stdout/stderr), and deployed in container mode, which is automatically captured by Docker and stored as "container logs". However, prior to 0.6.32, there is no limit on the log size when the container is deployed. When the number of user accesses is too large, the log on the server disk will be too large, causing disk resource exhaustion and eventually causing DoS. autogpt-platform-beta-v0.6.32 fixes the issue.
