      Hi there,
      I'm about to run out of space on my nextcloud app, as cloudron machine runs on vmware ESXi , i resized the disk & rebooted cloudron, no changes seen in the Nextcloud app, tried to see the docs but no related info's found, how can i extend the partition via CLI, is there anything i should considerate before trying parted f.e. ? Are there any guides for this ? Thanks in advance.

        did you also extend the partition of the Ubuntu installation?

        Could be an idea to just throw away the machine and start a new one with a restore from backup. See https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/2187/cloudron-migration-to-new-server-amazing

          @fbartels Yes i thought about backup/restore option , but as i have 3TB of data there it would take ages to solve it this way....

            OK i figured out,
            So Yes i did extend the partition of the Ubuntu installation, restarted the instance once more & the issue disappeared 🙂 Anyway Thanks

              For future reference, you have to use resize2fs to grow the ext4 partition when you expand the disk size. This is atleast the case for most public cloud block storage and is a manual operation. Cloudron could potentially do this but I am guessing there is a good reason to not do this automatically, otherwise public cloud folks would have done this already 🙂
