Managed WordPress is eating all storage

[KhalilZammeli]

Please take a look at this screenshot:
the store one is the Wordpress app

[KhalilZammeli]

Also the app folder contains only WordPress regular installation files

The backups are also stored in an external storage (Cloudflare)

@KhalilZammeli in the web terminal, cd /app/data and then run du -hcs *. This will give an idea of where the data is (keep drilling down into each directory with the same du -hcs command).

Thanks @joseph I found what causing the problem! A backup plugin in WP storing it in the wp-content!
Thank you

[scooke]

@KhalilZammeli Which plugin?

[p44]

@KhalilZammeli That I was going to suggest to you: to check if some backup plugin saved files locally. I had this problem with Duplicator Pro backup plugin.

You likely know this, but just in case: presuming you've got your Cloudron backups properly set-up you don't really need a WP Backup Plugin anymore. Cloudron backups are better.

@jdaviescoates With Cloudron no need of any backup wp plugin anymore

[KhalilZammeli]

Thank you all! well noted

[scooke]

@p44 I do use All-in-One WP Migration still, as I sometimes migrate to a non-Cloudron destination, and this one has never let me down.

[p44]

@scooke I'll take a note of All-in-One WP plugin. Thanks a lot for sharing

[jdaviescoates]

@p44 I've used that a few times too. I've always had to increase the memory limit of the app (and the php memory limit too, I think) before it'd work though.

[scooke]

@jdaviescoates I actually never noticed because I always max out those settings on my WP installs to being with!

[jdaviescoates]

@scooke I seem to always forget to do it first, run the backup, or the import, it fails, then I have to work out again how to increase the php.ini memory etc

[p44]

@jdaviescoates I usually set the instance memory to the minimum possible, unless an increase is needed.

[jdaviescoates]

@p44 interesting. I tend to set most app to at least double as I very often find the minimum isn't really enough.

[p44]

@jdaviescoates This also is a great strategy to avoid sudden resource shortage problems, especially for those "mission critical" apps.

@scooke I'm using All in One WP Migration by adding the GDrive extension. But when I schedule it, it doesn't work. I don't understand what the problem is. However, when I manually back up, it works fine. So the problem is when this is scheduled.

It looks like scheduling is a premium feature. Can you quickly check if it works on the Unmanaged WordPress package?
