Hi dalu! :wave: Does your app start if you do ./launcher start app? If it does, you can sort of double-check if it is indeed running with docker ps. If app is running, then I think you can use ./launcher cleanup which will remove unused images and may free some space. Of course, always have a ba…

Salut :smiley_cat: If your backups take space, you could store them elsewhere while you’re trying to free some additional space. You could also increase your disk size if it’s allowed by your hosting service. Which company do you rent your server at? Digital Ocean? As for the loop you’re describ…

I’m not a fan of OVH, though I rent them my main VPS. I mostly use Hetzner for my other forums or temporary stuff, it’s billed per hour (OVH is per month). If you struggle, I would recommend upgrading (maybe resetting it to start fresh) your server or creating a new one, then installing Discourse …

Depending on your vps host you maybe able to increase your server size package. Also if you have a lot of backuos in discourse consider deleting older ones that are no longer needed. You can also download your backups off site to local storage as well.. However likely best to keep most recent bac…
