Oversized Disk Usage
-
I recently moved my backups to a remote directory, but not before a couple of backups had been done on the same drive as my app installations, which is resulting in a more disk usage than I want.
I've looked for the backups in the /var/backups and /var/backups/snapshot directories but the former is empty and the latter doesn't exist.
Any ideas where else these files might be, or what could be resulting in such a large "Everything Else"
Cheers.

@Scardinavia I'd go into the backup tab in the cloudron admin and clean it.
Change retention to 1 day, then hit cleanup backups button. Change retention back to whatever you need it to after.

@murgero thanks - I’ve tried this, but it hasn’t worked. I think the issue is that there are a couple of backups left on the original disk that are not being recognized now that I’ve set the backup location to a remote bucket…
I’ve tried re-setting the location of the backups to the Filesystem and doing a cleanup there too, but nothing has changed… I also ran
ls -sh /var/backups
and there’s nothing in there.
I’m quite new to all this, so sorry if I’m overlooking something obvious.
Cheers

Hello everyone,
I have a very similar Problem.
I am wondering what makes "Everything else (Ubuntu, etc)" 495.02 GB big.
For Backups I used S3 bucket from the beginning.I also already decreased the retention policy and cleand up backups, but nothing changed in disk usage.
Thanks for your help and best regards

@pbischoff OK, so maybe
du -hcs /home/yellowtent/appsdata/*
will tell you which app is taking lots of space . If you put the appid that you get there into the search box of the Dashboard, you will see which app it is./home/yellowtent/box
is just source code. I don't expect this to take much space/home/yellowtent/platformdata
is run time data (logs, databases). In the graph, this is around 180GB or so. -
@girish okay thank you, that helped very much.
I identified a Directus instance that uses almost 500 GB. I think this is database data because of a cron process that fetches data periodically and writes logs for every fetch. How can I identify if it is really the database data or some files?

@pbischoff
/home/yellowtent/appsdata/<appid>
only has the files. The database data is under/home/yellowtent/platformdata/postgresql
.One thing, you might want to check is the size of
/home/yellowtent/appsdata/<appid>/postgresqldump
. This is the size of the postgres dump of the app. Other than that, it's all file data.You can open the web terminal for Directus app. And then, inspect
/app/data
there. (this is the same as/home/yellowtent/appsdata/<directus-app-id>/data
on the host). -
