    Our Cloudron has a huge 16 GB /tmp folder.

    I see there are about 76 folders like this:

    drwxr-xr-x 9 yellowtent yellowtent 4096 Aug 29 2023 box-929500886/
    drwxr-xr-x 9 yellowtent yellowtent 4096 Aug 29 2023 box-940153435/
    drwxr-xr-x 9 yellowtent yellowtent 4096 Aug 29 2023 box-954421980/

    And 73 more. All of them have that "Aug 29 2023" date.

    When I run service cloudron-updater status it seems one of them is still used:

    ● cloudron-updater.service - /tmp/box-243670221/scripts/installer.sh
    Loaded: loaded (/run/systemd/transient/cloudron-updater.service; transient)
    Transient: yes
    Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2024-05-13 03:34:36 UTC; 7h ago
    Process: 11966 ExecStart=/tmp/box-243670221/scripts/installer.sh (code=exited, status=2)
    Main PID: 11966 (code=exited, status=2)

    May 13 03:34:36 FV-Cloudron systemd[1]: Started /tmp/box-243670221/scripts/installer.sh.
    May 13 03:34:36 FV-Cloudron systemd[1]: cloudron-updater.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT
    May 13 03:34:36 FV-Cloudron systemd[1]: cloudron-updater.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

    Can these /tmp/box-* folders be removed?

    Thanks,
    Martin

      @martinv good catch, this is a bug in the updater. When an update fails, I guess it doesn't clean up the old temp stuff. You can safely delete all those files.

      It looks like the update is failing non-stop though. This is the reason why those files are accumulating. Can you check journalctl -u cloudron-updater ?

        Hello girish,

        I tried that command and got:

        May 13 12:52:45 FV-Cloudron systemd[1]: Started /tmp/box-1040295979/scripts/installer.sh.
        May 13 12:52:45 FV-Cloudron systemd[1]: cloudron-updater.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT
        May 13 12:52:45 FV-Cloudron systemd[1]: cloudron-updater.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
        

        I run it manually and I see it needs Ubuntu 20.04 or above. Too bad it did not show that error on Cloudron web interface, it would save us a lot of trouble.

        Thanks,
        Martin

          @martinv ah right. You have to upgrade to ubuntu 20 - https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/upgrade-ubuntu-20/

          We did make a new release showing the error message but I think your Cloudron is locked on to the Clourdon version before that.

            In the meantime, I have pushed a fix to cleanup old artifacts for the next release.
