Documented steps
Under the noisy service add `logging: driver: none`.
Optionally add an empty `options: {}` (or omit it) since none takes no options.
Run `docker compose up -d` to recreate the service.
Confirm with `docker inspect --format '{{.HostConfig.LogConfig.Type}}' <container>` which should print `none`.
Official docs: https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/compose-file/services/#logging and https://docs.docker.com/engine/logging/drivers/ (none driver note)
Known gotchas
driver none discards all container output - `docker compose logs` will show nothing for that service.
It does not stop the process writing to stdout, just container-scoped log capture; good for chatty metrics/health pollers to save disk.
If you later re-enable logging you must recreate the container; stopping/starting alone keeps the none config.
