All my nodes keep restarting since last night: "/var/log/supervisor/supervisord.log does not exist"

Yes, the simplest way is to configure logrotate to manage your storagenode logs. It should already be running on your system. I recommend placing a logrotate config specifically for your node(s) in the /etc/logrotate.d folder. For example, I have a file /etc/logrotate.d/storagenode (it can have any name). The file contents are:

/path/to/logs/storj*/storagenode*.log {
        su username username
        weekly
        maxsize 200M
        rotate 52
        dateext
        dateformat -%Y%m%d
        compress
        delaycompress
        missingok
        notifempty
        copytruncate
}

There are many options, so pick what is right for you. In my case this rotates two sets of logs (hence the wildcards), the logs are owned by my non-root user/group so I had to specify, and then I specify the rotate options. The config file has to be owned by root:root, so you’ll have to chown the config file. You can do dry-runs by running sudo logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.d/storagenode
