Disk space issue with launcher rebuild

[Andro (Andrew Bernard)]

I have 7.5GB free disk space. I need to rebuild the app container. When running launcher rebuild app it complains that it needs 5.0GB free disk space. I have tried all the docker commands I can think of to free up space, but they all free 0B.

Any suggestions?

If you have 7.5GB free, runs a rebuild command that downloads the new Discourse image that is over 2.5GB in size, by the time the disk space check comes you will have under 5GB free and fail the check.

Your options are:

1. Pass --skip-prereqs as a rebuild flag the script. You risk running out disk space and getting your site broken and needing to recover from a backup and a new install.

2. Increase your disk space.

I increased my disk space twice before I realized this:

Less than 5GB of disk space, can't upgrade Discourse

Did you check /var/discourse/shared/standalone/backups/default? That’s the most likely culprit. I’m working on a new product at https://www.pfaffmanager.com/. If you’ll log in there, click the server list button at the top and then the Free! Manage existing server button and then configure it for your server as (I hope that) it suggests, I’ll figure it out for you.
