"Platform data" and "Other" disk usage

[girish]

Found out why. If a log file is > 20M at rotation time, then it's never truncated. Looks like this is just how logrotate works.

For me it adds up to 699 MB

Is there a way to clean up those logs in between?

@necrevistonnezr If you go into /home/yellowtent/platformdata/logrotate, do you see 07e4e251-ed90-42ca-9ba3-e015b108f1e6 and c5c137fa-0221-4d42-b418-10e544cebad1 there? If not, go those apps (you can figure this out either by looking at the logs a bit or in the dashboard's URL) and start recovery mode and end recovery mode. This will generate the logrotate configs for them.

Once, the configs are in place, future logs will get rotated. But this does not help the current logs. You can just truncate them like:

truncate -s0 /home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/07e4e251-ed90-42ca-9ba3-e015b108f1e6/app.log

@girish Thanks, worked!

Hi Girish,

We've run into issues with reclaimable space as well. Here's where we stand now.

# docker system df
TYPE            TOTAL     ACTIVE    SIZE      RECLAIMABLE
Images          18        18        15.99GB   4.727GB (29%)
Containers      19        19        95.79kB   0B (0%)
Local Volumes   62        58        623.4MB   3.582kB (0%)
Build Cache     0         0         0B        0B

This is after running docker image prune -a which removed 19 Images (saved 4 GB), 3 Containers, 324 Local Volumes (saved 2.2 GB). We have also already ran We tried docker volume prune and docker system prune too. These only saved about 100 MB each.

How do we reclaim the last 4.727GB of reclaimable space?

Thanks in advance for your good advice, Alec

PS. I've posted on this older thread as it's also about reclaimable space, to avoid too many duplicate threads on the forum.

@foliovision you can also try docker system prune -a --volumes but generally I have never succeeded in making that reclaimable space be less than 2GB in any server using docker (even without Cloudron).
