Hi, I do have huge image local storage /var/discourse/shared/standalone/uploads/default 57.5GiB [##########] /original 35.6GiB [###### ] /optimized the original 56.7GiB [##########] /3X 667.6MiB [ ] /2X 155.5MiB [ ] /1X and optimized 33.8GiB [##########] /3X 1.7GiB [ ] /2X 113.3MiB [ ] /1X I found this settings and make this 1 and 2. Is it relevant settings? [image] I would like to drop all 3X images (original and optimized) and store/show only 2X picture? How to setup this configuration? T H A N K S

3x is just a naming convention it has nothing to do with image size If you want to cut on storage you could run the rake task that irreversibly shrinks old images and drops fidelity

[image] sam: If you want to cut on storage you could run the rake task that irreversibly shrinks old images and drops fidelity how to do it? what’s the command line?

This script should do it: script/downsize_uploads.rb 4c89f7f88 # frozen_string_literal: true require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__) # no less than 1 megapixel max_image_pixels = [ARGV[0].to_i, 1_000_000].max puts '', "Downsizing uploads size to no more than #{max_image_pixels} pixels" count = 0 Upload.where("lower(extension) in (?)", ['jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'png']).find_each do |upload| count += 1 print "\r%8d".freeze % count absolute_path = Discourse.store.path_for(upload) if absolute_path && FileHelper.is_supported_image?(upload.original_filename) file = File.new(absolute_path) rescue nil next unless file image_info = FastImage.new(file) rescue nil This file has been truncated. show original But I would be very very careful to have a full backup of everything prior to playing with it.

/var/discourse/shared/standalone/uploads/default 57.5GiB [##########] /original 35.6GiB [###### ] /optimized please tell me which folder /original or /optimized I can drop to free up some space?

Like @sam said, if you truly want to reduce your disk usage, you will need to downsize all your originals and re-generate all your thumbnails (ie. “optimized” images). It’s an involved process since you have to update both the files on disk and the associated records in the database.

GOSH! I’ve just ruined my /original folder during moving from one folder to another. Is there any way to use images from /optimized folder? or from Postgres DB? Am I in trouble now?

You can try recovering from optimized, but quality would be limited

If you have a backup that includes uploads, you can extract them from the archive directly in the originals directory.

The files are all stored on disk, the database only holds records of some metadata.
