Laravel storage/logs - Which are the correct permissions and User/Group?

Let's say my storage/logs directory is empty at the moment. I do a request from Postman and there is an error. So, Laravel attempts to log it to the storage/logs directory. Since it is empty, it creates a new file.

Here it is - please notice the owners/permissions:

-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 9955 Dec 29 10:29 laravel-2020-12-29.log

I read in this answer that the user should be me (let's call my user myuser) and that both me and the group should have read and write permissions. (and I think that's correct - myuser should be the owner if, for example, I want to run an artisan cmd or sth)

So, I run the following two commands:

sudo chown -R $USER:www-data app/storage
sudo chmod -R ug+w app/storage

Then the permissions of the file become:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 myuser www-data 9955 Dec 29 10:29 laravel-2020-12-29.log

Now, if I try to do a request from Postman again, it still works.

But if I try the next day (or if I delete the file and try again), the new file is created with the initial permissions again:

-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 9955 Dec 29 10:32 laravel-2020-12-29.log

Why is this happening? What should be done so that the permissions are set to the proper ones?

You can fix this problem with changing the config of your laravel project
Go to this path config/logging.php and find the line which has daily as key and change it like this for example:

'daily' => [
    ...
    'permission' => 0664,
],

After that the log file generate with this permission
