    @p44 It takes extra space for a short amount of time. It's like this:

    1. Old containers are running
    2. New images are downloaded
    3. Old containers are stopped.
    4. Old images are removed
    5. New containers are started

    We can do step 3 and 4 before step 2. But this means that you will have more downtime. So, it's a compromise made assuming that servers have disk space (which most of them do).

    I am running into the exact same problem that my disk space is running low. In this context, I want to switch to another VM. Is it possible to install a fresh copy of Cloudron 7.4.1 on the new server and then import a backup of one single app from the old Cloudron instance? The app version is the same, however, the cloudron version is different due to the fact that I cannot update the old instance.

      @hcj-online in the new VM, simply install with cloudron-setup --version 7.4.0. Also, another option is to just increase the disk size of your current VM (if that's possible).

        @girish what I can see is that after update, "Docker" takes 9.25 GB disk space. Before update it was only 4.51 GB... So my question is: new release requires more disk space?

          @p44 can you check if running docker image prune -a frees up some space?

                On my existing install, docker takes around 7GB.

                ef177b7e-615d-4170-81c4-df5d438067e7-image.png

                On a fresh install:

                root@ubuntu-s-1vcpu-2gb-sfo2-01:~# docker system df
                TYPE TOTAL ACTIVE SIZE RECLAIMABLE
                Images 9 0 6.905GB 6.905GB (100%)
                Containers 0 0 0B 0B
                Local Volumes 0 0 0B 0B
                Build Cache 0 0 0B 0B

                So, the size hasn't changed much (atleast for docker images). Not sure what apps you have installed. Maybe they are taking lots of space?

                      @p44 the VPN app got the base image update just yesterday. So that frees up some space.
