I’m running a very visual oriented community ( www.realtimevfx.com ) and have watched my disk space creep up over the past year (obviously). I’m about to do some cleanup (per this discussion “ https://meta.discourse.org/t/low-on-disk-space-cleaning-up-old-docker-containers/15792/83 ”), but I wanted to s…

Serve static resources via AWS is the best You can do as it will offload a significant amount of less important data from the server.

When images are stored on S3, they won’t be backed up by Discourse anymore. This would be pointless since most of the time, you’re using S3 because you don’t have enough space locally. If you want to backup your images, I’m sure there are plenty of tools available to do that by talking to S3 direct…

Backup will contain all your site settings. So new restored instance also will have the same S3 configuration.

I have several question about images storage/processing I have two folders /var/discourse/shared/standalone/uploads/default/original — 9GB in my case ../3X ../2X ../1X /var/discourse/shared/standalone/uploads/default/optimized — 4GB in my case ../3X ../2X ../1X Is there way to keep only o…
