    @d19dotca can you try docker volume prune -a ? Looks like we have some unused volumes storage from the past.

      @girish That worked well for the volumes, it cleared up the 1.666GB of storage space. Thank you! πŸ™‚

      What about the images though? It says over 2 GB is reclaimable but it doesn't seem like it is from what I can tell. If I tried to do a similar command specific to images such as docker image prune -a it still gave me a 0 byte response showing it cleaned up nothing. Am I missing something when it comes to reclaimable images in Docker?

        Here is my docker image list by the way in case this points to any issues at all:

        $ sudo docker image ls

          I'm curious why the Umami app is so massive. It's such a lightweight application... is it expected to be that large? I wonder if this is somehow a contributor to the issue of reclaimable space but not actually being removed since it's still active? Just throwing against a wall though, not sure if that's valid. haha.

            @d19dotca for volumes, thee was a bug. I fixed this in master yesterday - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/commit/030e4688294d0ffe1c34468e6622c4b1b22fd357

              @d19dotca speak of the devil... there is a new version of umami, let me check why it's so big.

                Just to say, I'm pretty sure that in the past I've done this and got a 0 byte response too, but then there actually was more space available. 🀷

                    @girish does that mean the image should only be about 1.4 GB in size rather than the 6+GB I’m seeing currently? Very odd if that’s the case, I wonder how that exploded in size.

                      FWIW, I uninstalled the app so that the image would be removed, confirmed it was removed, and then re-installed. The image size changed slightly from 6.57 GB to 6.51 GB, but still quite large. I may be doing in the wrong area though if we don't think this is a huge concern, just really strange to me why it's so much larger than all the other images when it's supposedly a fairly lean app.

                      For the life of me I cannot seem to reclaim the over 2 GB of disk space from images in Docker, I am puzzled as to why that is happening.

                        @d19dotca it seems the yarn cache was note cleared. Clearing it brought down the size . It's in the new package.

                          cleaning up the docker images as mentioned above basically works.
                          On my instance, there however are two app docker images that are much larger than the others:
                          rallly (almost 6GB), loomio (>6GB)
                          Is this size "normal"?
                          Is the "normal" size of the apps' docker images documented anywhere?

                            @andreasb you can check the sizes of docker images here - https://hub.docker.com/u/cloudron . But looks like it lists only the compressed size. Size of docker images is not documented anywhere . The 6GB includes many layers and the layers are "shared" across apps (the way docker works).

                            We also hvae images on quay - https://quay.io/organization/cloudron . But I think this requires login, despite images being public . These sizes differ from dockerhub πŸ™…
