When a backup to S3 runs nightly, it pretty much requires that the disk size be at least 2x the space used. On my 200GB disk, Discourse uses about 50% and during the backup, disk use jumps to just over 90% until the backup is uploaded to S3.
I’m curious if there is a better way to manage disk space. The prompt for my question is the message my Discourse sent me:
The
download_remote_images_to_localsetting was disabled because the disk space limit atdownload_remote_images_thresholdwas reached.
It was set at 10%.
