docker, platformdata, docker-volumes usage and consequences

[jayonrails]

Hi,

I see the following disk usage at my system info page:

• docker 35.17 GB
• platformdata 16.53 GB
• docker-volumes 5.75 GB

That is around 56 GB of disk usage for...I don't know yet. That's what I wanted to find out!

I assume that docke-volumes is where personal data from me is stored,

and docker might be docker images that have been downloaded to the server and are stored locally, thus not being uniquely on my machine and can be re-downloaded from the Internet.

Am I right with those guesses?
What about platformdata?

Best

Jay

I put some docs at https://docs.cloudron.io/system/#disk-usage , maybe that helps? But docker volumes is the opposite of personal data, it's the temp files and run time files generated by apps. It is not the persistent data. 5GB can be a lot.. or not .. depending on what the app is and what they are doing. The docs have a command to investigate this, if you want.

Thanks @girish for the changes in the docs and letting me know. I will take a look as soon as the time allows and may get back to this topic at a later date.
