run out of disk space

[nottheend]

Thanks. Then my server is probably not an exception. Just trying to plan the storage needed for the cloudron backend a bit ahead, which I find difficult as of now

After moving to a new server, the exact same config restored from the backup has only 30GB disk usage, compared to 38GB before

Edited this post after waiting for recreation of the storage utilization

@nottheend @RazielKanos -

I have the same problem as well.

I will create a backup, stop the VM, then use the backup settings file to create a new VM and restore the backup settings file in the new instance of Cloudron.

I've been using Cloudron for about 3 years, and I have done this around 4 or 5 times.

The Docker images, overlay, etc., are the headache.
For me, it will balloon to 70+ GB, and if I restore, it will be around 40 GB.

Does docker image prune help here, to avoid reinstalling ?-

any feedback from the devs? @nebulon @girish

[jagadeesh-s2104]

@timconsidine Yes, thank you!

I do that with other VMs. But I remember reading somewhere that we should not do anything with the Cloudron VM.

Yes, generally you don’t need to and shouldn’t do something on the server command line, but I think this is an exception. @staff will jump in here to clarify.

For the space taken up by docker volumes, this is a bug and fix is already in the upcoming release. You can run docker volume prune --all --force to free up that space. You can do an additional docker system prune -a to clear up stale images etc.

Otherwise, the space usage looks normal to me. Nothing stands out.

@girish Can I run the command today? Or it has not been implemented yet? Is it correct if I SSH to the server and run the command as the admin from there?

[necrevistonnezr]

Yes, that’s a build-in docker command that you can run in your ssh terminal
