Log gets overwritten when the system reboots #403

Description

@GeorgeFlorian

Every time I restart the node server I get: New log file created, but the logs work as expected.

Every time I restart the system, the logs get overwritten. Every one of them.
I have set up maxFiles: '14d', and all 14 files get overwritten.

Basically, this package doesn't work as intended.
Unfortunately I have not seen any activity on this repo and I start to believe that this will never get fixed and that I have to look for an alternative.
There is a similar 2 years old issue: #367

I am using this config:

const dailyRotateTransport = new winston.transports.DailyRotateFile({
  dirname: PATHS.LOGS,
  filename: 'backend-%DATE%.log',
  datePattern: 'yyyy-MM-DD',
  zippedArchive: true,
  maxSize: '20m',
  maxFiles: '14d',
  createSymlink: true,
  symlinkName: 'current.log',
  auditFile: path.join(PATHS.LOGS, 'rotate-audit.json'),
  options: {
    mode: 0o660,
    flags: 'a'
  }
});

dailyRotateTransport.on('new', (filename) => {
  console.log(`New log file created: ${filename}`);
});

dailyRotateTransport.on('rotate', (oldFilename, newFilename) => {
  console.log(`Log rotated from ${oldFilename} to ${newFilename}`);
});

dailyRotateTransport.on('error', (error) => {
  console.error('DailyRotateFile Error:', error);
});

const logTransports: winston.transport[] = [dailyRotateTransport];

export const logger = winston.createLogger({
  levels: logLevels,
  level: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? 'update' : 'debug',
  transports: logTransports,
  exitOnError: false
});
