    I seem to recall there is/was a vulnerability which exposed something like this.
    Dredging memory banks - maybe you can search for something like this - my searches aren’t returning anything - sorry.

      I tried docker inspect. Looks like it's a WordPress instance from a single user. Shouldn't WordPress clean this up on its own? There are thousands of magick-*.txt files taking up hundreds of GB. I think the oldest one is from around June 16th.

        @timconsidine Thanks! I’ll try to search around a bit more with that in mind. Good to know it might not be just a one-off issue.

          Sounds to me like they are likely tmp files that can all be deleted https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35550850/lot-of-temp-magick-files-created-in-temporary-folder#39446027

          I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

            I tried deleting the files gradually starting from the oldest ones, and everything seems fine so far. Looks like they were really just leftover tmp files.

              Unfortunately, I just checked and the files are back again – only two for now. It seems something is still generating them.

                  Yes, still in the same location and same naming pattern – seems to be temporary files from WordPress using ImageMagick.

                    An idea is put a cronjob into the WP app to clean up /tmp .

                      @joseph I don't know if this can help, but I added to Wp cron this command:

                      55 1,13 * * * rm -rf /app/data/public/wp-content/cache/* > /dev/null 2>&1
                      

                      You can extend this also to /tmp folders.

                      I added this line to save space before backup. You can edit this according to backup scheduled times

                        Is it related to a plugin? I know that by default wp-cron jobs were not always running in WP so I had to force create a cron job to run wp-cron on a schedule
                        It is supposed to be the reponsibility of WP Plugins to cleanup after them, by using the wp-cron, but it is by default disabled afaik. So what I have scheduled for a long time in Cloudron is */30 * * * * wget -q -O - https://wp.xxx.xxx/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron >/dev/null 2>&1

                          I’ve added some cleanup jobs to the WP cron for now.
                          I’ll let you know if it helps.

                              Glad it works for you. WP would constantly complaining those WP-cron jobs were disabled (see Cloudron docs, they mention wp-cron is disabled https://docs.cloudron.io/packages/wordpress-managed/ ), so I came with the fix I mention to get rid of the warnings/errors shown in my WP instance 😆 maybe my solution is outdated yet it runs for so long now.

                                @SansGuidon Mentioned guide also say "To add custom cron events, use Cloudron's built-in cron or use a plugin like WP Crontrol." And it works like a sharm... 😉

                                Before Cloudron I had a lot of problems publishing scheduled posts because WP Cron is activated only when user visits the website. Cloudron guide say "WordPress' built-in cron task schedule wp-cron is disabled since it is not effective for low traffic websites."

                                  Interesting to know, however what I remember is that my site would appear non healthy without forcing some cron jobs to trigger, so I guess that's why I had to add this line in my cron tab, despite Cloudron is supposed to make that not necessary. Weird. Anyway if that works like a charm for everyone but me, I guess I might have different needs 🤔
