[image] I get the aforementioned error while attempting to do an operation. I have no idea as to why this is happening.

Hi @seshu_ram Often, when containers are rebuilt, the process leaves orphan images. If you have rebuilt your container often, these images can take up a lot of space. In fact, these orphan images recently took up nearly 100 GB + on our server until I deleted them. You can easily check. Please post the output of: docker images Kindly post the output as text (copy-and-paste) using fenced markdown. Terminal screenshot images are hard to read on mobile. Thanks. Note: Please note that launcher cleanup also prunes these orphans (based on 24 hours in the past, I think): if tty >/dev/null; then read -p "Would you like to attempt to recover space by cleaning docker images and containers in the system? (y/N)" -n 1 -r echo if [[ $REPLY =~ ^[Yy]$ ]] then $docker_path container prune --force --filter until=1h >/dev/null $docker_path image prune --all --force --filter until=1h >/dev/null echo "If the cleanup was successful, you may try again now" fi fi

Hey @seshu_ram FYI and FWIW: You can remove this orphan image and reclaim a bit more disk space: f3a4104c3f75 docker image rm f3a4104c3f75 The launcher cleanup process does not (as I recall) remove images less than 24 hours old. Or, you can run cleanup again in a few hours, as you please.

One thing I’ve noticed is that recent command line updates of Discourse are eating quite a bit of disk space.. root@endoffice-b:/var/discourse# ./launcher cleanup WARNING! This will remove all stopped containers. Are you sure you want to continue? [y/N] Y Total reclaimed space: 0B WARNING! This will remove all images without at least one container associated to them.

anon43908006: Whats the easy way to rebuild a discourse server and reinstall letsencrypt please? @anon43908006, there is a guide at: [image] Change the domain name or rename your Discourse Self-Hosting bookmark This guide explains how-to change the domain name of your Discourse site, and includes information about setting up DNS changes, editing configuration files, updating site settings, and correcting social logins and post content to reflect your new domain name. warning This guide is for self-hosted Discourse instances that were installed using our installation guide on GitHub. If you are hosted by Discourse, please see Configure your domain name for hosted Discourse for specific … It goes over many considerations for changing your domain, check it out. :slight_smile:

[image] codinghorror: is this something we should be concerned about? :thinking: [image] sam: Not much we can do. To clarify, is there not much to do about the overall size of the upgrades increasing, or not much to do about the recent spike in bumping base image activity (which will not affect as much in the future)? I’v been surprised, I’ve got all these tiny Discourses with very few users, and kept running into this issue lately. No uploads or anything. I was wondering if we are approaching a point where the cloud install will recommend the next size up on drive space (which is 2GB RAM/1vCPU/50GB SSD). :thinking:

I asked @falco about this in chat and he said lately we’ve had a lot of base image changes due to dependencies being updated, so there’s been a higher than usual amount of disk space in upgrades in the last ~6 months.

Sorry to hear you’ve run into trouble changing your domain name, @anon43908006. Because this is #support, I encourage you to create a new topic that explains your exact case: it may be that your situation requires more discussion than what’s happening in this topic, which is more of a general pattern we’ve been noticing. If you’d like, you can mention me (@maiki) and I’d be happy to discuss what’s going on with your site. :slight_smile:

Unable to rebuild discourse due to no space left on device

Kind of unavoidable I think we bumped base image 2 times in the last few months. Not much we can do. Looks like the cleanup on your server shaved off 2 base images.
