Is this normal?

Is it normal for Cloudron to take 81GB of storage space?

@cyberfreakde I’d say the larger issue here is why there’s no breakdown of the storage below for you

[cyberfreakde]

@atrilahiji I don't quite get what you mean I was hiding all my app names if thats what you wanted to know.

@cyberfreakde That's not normal. Could it be that you moved your backups to an external storage after some time? In that case, maybe you have to remove the old backups from /var/backups manually. You can also use du -hcs /* to figure where all the space is getting used.

[cyberfreakde]

@girish Not old backups because I never backed up locally. However I saw /var/lib/docker/overlay2 has a size of 83GB.

@cyberfreakde df does not report the docker directory size properly. you can use docker system df to get the docker size. You can also run and try to remove old images with docker image prune -a. The prune should have been automatic but maybe something caused it to fail.

[cyberfreakde]

@girish Looks like its not old images.

Here is the output of du -hcs /*. I also have raid on /mnt/md0 so you can ignore that.

What are your values for

• Docker images
• Platform data
• Backup data

from Cloudrons system info?

How much RAM ans SWAP does your server has?
Size of /var/logs and /var/backups? Please also take a look at the output from du -hcs /* as @girish suggested.

What confuses me is that your docker system df shows over 50GB of data but your Cloudron overview does not have a bar that represents that amount of space (should be the red or orange bar in your example). Instead the green bar seems off.

This is an example from one of my instances. The Server has 16GB RAM and 4GB SWAP.

PS: Your headline should be a bit more descriptive than clickbaiting.

[cyberfreakde]

@subven I have 32GB RAM.
/var/log size 214MB
/var/backups size 1.5MB

@cyberfreakde Essentially "everything else" is Total disk size - all the locations cloudron knows about. Just to double confirm, are you saying that /var/lib/docker/overlay2 is the only place on your filesystem which seems to consume this large amount of space? You might have to do du -hcs on various directories to see where the disk space is being used.

To help with the calculations, first see the df -h output. This is the disk usage at the block level. Can you also confirm that it says ~96GB used there?

df -h output

du -hcs /* output

du -hcs /var/lib/docker/overlay2 output
