    disk limit.png

    We get constant notifications about the full disk usage, but our applications are within 5Gb and the disk size is 25Gb.

    Something is odd here and I can't figure out how to clean it. Is this something within Cloudron competency and we need to find a solution on our own?

      even if your applications only hold 5gb of data as you can see in your own screenshot you are currently using 24gb of your 25gb disk. This could be the containers of the apps, containers of the various addons in Cloudron (Postgres, MySql, ..).

      If you want to dig down what is actually using disk space you could use the tool ncdu to see how disk usage is spread over your disk.

      Generally speaking I doubt that there is much that can be done differently here from the Cloudron side, I would just go for a larger disk (you also want to have some wiggle room for backups etc).

        @dron5634 Generally, Cloudron requires atleast 15-20GB as bare minimum of it's own and this increases depending on the number of apps you have installed. So, I would increase the disk size a bit, if possible (even by 10GB should be enough).
