Completely Out of Disk Space

Two things come to mind:

  1. If your instance was populated with a restore, or imported from another platform you may be carrying the restore schema around:

  2. backups left on disk have filled your space:

    • Check /var/discourse/shared/standalone/backups/default
    • The backups are .tar.gz files
    • Look at the date AND size of the backups before you start deleting.
