thanks ! i upgraded my vps to 40 gb instantly ! waou, i don’t use much vps only dedicated servers, it’s fast rebuilding app now ps: wondering why ovh has such bad reputation sometimes. i’ll check what Hetzner is, didn’t know before thanks a lot all :slight_smile:

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 backup somewhere in case something goes wrong :slight_smile:

salut coin coin :wink: i just did a launcher cleanup Total reclaimed space: 3.318GB but when i do ./launcher start app it redownloads the image. it downloads 2 images, discourse but it keeps repeating Would you like to attempt to recover space by cleaning docker images and containers in the system? (y/N)y and redownloading images maybe i’ll try to delete backups, not all :wink:

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 describing, I don’t know about it, my technical knowledge is limited. :confused:

There was some good discussion in this recent topic that may be of use? [imagem] Any advice on how to save space? Self-hosting We run a self-hosted Discourse site on DigitalOcean and have a 25 GB Disk. I just tried to update our Discourse image and got a you will need more space to continue message. After cleaning the docker image and containers, we’re still 0.4 GB short. Any advice on how to save space? Both in order to update now and also how to save space in the future. I know we’ll need to resize soon, but it’d be helpful to make it through at least one more Discourse image update.

an also here didn’t find earlier sorry [imagem] Discourse upgrade fails due to insufficient disk space on 25G droplet Self-hosting I have a 25g droplet, which Discourse claims should be big enough, but I cannot do the upgrade to the latest version as I’ve run out of storage. My forum is very small with very little traffic. I ran ./launcher cleanup and even deleted old backups, but still no joy. What can I do? root@DO-Discourse:/var/discourse# ./launcher rebuild app x86_64 arch detected.

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 and restoring your backup. It’s often faster than spending time trying to fix some issue.

[imagem] dalu: ps: wondering why ovh has such bad reputation sometimes. i’ll check what Hetzner is, didn’t know before I also often heard that OVH has a bad reputation. I’ve been using them for a long time. Their dashboard is wonky and slow, and their price might be a bit higher than other companies, but I didn’t encounter any particular issue with them, except one time when I was unable to renew my Plesk license (they’re a reseller). It took many messages back and forth to finally have them recognize that the issue was on their end. I like Hetzner because their interface is intuitive, they’re not expensive even though they increased their price by about 10% recently and they bill per hour.

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 backup on the server.
