increased NVMe capacity of server but existing cloudron installation won't recognise new total amount
-
Once ago i've installed my cloudron on a small VPS with ~100 GB disk space and allocated it all since the server is "only cloudron apps".
A month ago my hosting provider let me "upgrade my server" to a higher tier with better cpu, more core, more ram and with double the side of NVMe storage.
The hosting provider youst "copied over" my existing cloudron installation and everything was done in a few minutes and all apps working well (IP did not change).
However i've come to notice within the cloudron-backend that the new system specs are recognized but not the "new / enlarged" storage capacity.
/dev/sda3 mounted at / is still capped at the origin 100 GB.
How to i increase the storage capacity to full extend so that cloudron and all apps can use it?

Hello @rene-dhemant and welcome to the Cloudron forum
This question should be targeted at your hosting provider, and they should have a guide for that.
Example guide from some DigitalOcean: https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/volumes/how-to/increase-size/
WARNING Always make sure you have a valid backup before doing anything like this.
To boil it down, it should be very simple.
- ssh into your server
- run the following command:
resize2fs /dev/sda3 - confirm the size of your partition with the following command:
df -h /dev/sda3
But please check with your hosting provider if he offers a guide specific to their platform.
