[RESOLVED] Our Beehaw instance is experiencing a problem that we can't identify (lemmy.ml)

Over just 14 days our physical disk usage has increased from 52% to 59%. That's approximately 1.75 GB of disk space being gobbled up for unknown reasons.

At that rate, we'd be out of physical server space in 2 -3 months. Of course, one solution would be to double our server disk size which would double our monthly operating cost.

The 'pictrs' folder named '001' is 132MB and the one named '002' is 2.2GB. At first glance this doesn't look like it's an image problem.

So, we are stumped and don't know what to do.

I had this EXACT problem. Truncate your docker logs. I did so when my storage filled up and it freed like 15 GB.

How long had your instance been running for the logs to reach 15 gigs?

About a year.

Thanks!

I've already done this by running the following command:

truncate -s 0 /var/lib/docker/containers//-json.log
