Recently came across this while using this amazing script.
I installed klipper, moonraker, and fluidd all through kiauh script.

I did want to have the option to add a webcam in the future so I selected yes to download webcamd.
However in doing so, my raspberry pi ran out of memory a few days later because of the continuous rebooting of the webcamd service.

Source of issue, in webcamd.service
RestartSec=10

I don't know if this is a feature or a bug, but it doesnt seem very right to be spamming the logs if the webcamd service cannot come up.
I think a simple reboot of the pi when would work fine to get the webcam initialized.

So did your webcamd.log in /var/log/webcamd.log fill up indifinitely and you ran out of sdcard storage?

Okay. I will have a look. I think of rotating the logfiles then like its done in MainsailOS.

I just pushed a commit for adding a logrotate rule.
The rule is set identical to the one found in the current MainsailOS release.
