<![CDATA[where is going my hardrive space ?]]>I ran out of space on my root (40GiB).

my backup are external and I identify the bottleneck being in /var/lib/

  • docker: 34G
  • mysql: 13G

I pruned everything possible to liberate a big 4G

What I don't understand is the disparity between docker system df and du

You do you understand ?

What would you do in my case ?

FYI: I have 12 apps:

  • Prometheus is Stopped
  • Calibre-web is Stopped
  • Commento is Running
  • Grafana is Stopped
  • Nextcloud is Running and have a drive to it self
  • InvoiceNinja is Running
  • Kutt is Running
  • Jellyfin is Stopped
  • EasyAppointments is Stopped
  • Searx is Running
  • Bitwarden is Running

Note that stopped apps still take up the same disk space as running apps.

Yes that I'm aware of 🙂

So I clean up few apps and extend the drive

The du command does not calculate the correct usage for the docker volumes/mounts.

Definitely du don't play well with overlay

The docker system df is the correct one to trust for that part.

Maybe you can check the system info view in the Cloudron dashboard to see which components and apps are using up the space. Note that stopped apps still take up the same disk space as running apps.
