bootstrap column full height with scrollbar if needed - html

Question

I have the following (kind of) code :
<script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="container-fluid" style="min-height: 100vh;">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-8">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-body">
<div class="row">
<div class="col">
header
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div id="logo-frame" class="col d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center">
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/1000x300" class="img-fluid overflow-auto">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col">
footer
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-4">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-body">
side
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The image is of loaded dynamically and can be of any size and aspect ratio.
I want the div #logo-frame to :
take up all vertical space available (the container has min-height: 100vh but I'm not sure how to have the div eat it all up with flexbox) and pad the image with whitespace if required
have the image inside centered horizontally and vertically (I think I got it covered with justify-content-center align-items-center)
show a scrollbar if the height becomes too big to show the image (e.g with https://via.placeholder.com/1000x2000) but only on the image, not on the full page (I think the overflow-auto is enough, but not sure...)
How can I achieve this behavior easily with flexbox ?
Thanks
UPDATE
The following code is working.
<script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="wrapper">
<script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="container-fluid" style="height : 100vh">
<div class="row h-100">
<div class="col-8 h-100">
<div class="card h-100">
<div class="card-body d-flex flex-column h-100">
<div class="row">
<div class="col">
header
</div>
</div>
<div class="row h-100 overflow-auto">
<div id="logo-frame" class="col d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center">
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/1000x300" class="img-fluid">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col">
footer
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-4">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-body">
side
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Can someone help me understand :
if it is possible to not have to cascade down the h-100 ?
why if I put min-height:100vh instead of height:100vh, it does not work ?
why if I don't put d-flex flex-column on the card-body element, it does not work
if there's a better way to make this work ?

Have you considered using the "max-height" css attribute in the parent container in conjunction with an auto scroll on overflow?
Update per your request
<!-- Add Slimscroll library -->
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jQuery-slimScroll/1.3.8/jquery.slimscroll.js" rel="stylesheet" />
Refactored Markup
<div class="container-fluid" style="min-height: 100vh;">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-8">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-body">
<div class="row">
<div class="col">
header
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<!-- as indicated in style attribute: Add a class w/these attribs/values -->
<div id="logo-frame" style="max-height: 1000px; overflow: hidden;" class="col d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center">
<!-- you might need to remove the css selector: overflow-auto from the class attrib (Test it) -->
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/1000x1200" class="img-fluid">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col">
footer
</div>
</div>

</div>
</div>
<div class="col-4">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-body">
side
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Instantiate Slimscroll on load
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#logo-frame').slimScroll({
// According to slimscroll documentation - leave height empty
height: '',
width: '100%',
alwaysVisible: false
});
})
