I’m having a tidy up and just reclaimed 28GB by doing this. Ensure all forums are running (so NOT stopped) then: docker system prune And confirm with Y. Does anybody else do it? Is it (and/or anything else) routinely recommended by the Discourse team in order to maintain our Discourse instances…

I let the Docker updater purge old containers when it runs low on space, but that only happens when I’m updating Docker, so its rare. Sounds like you have multiple Discourse instances going, I can’t speak to that.

./launcher cleanup is more recommended, and covered in many many topics here on meta..

Thanks, does it remove just containers? cleanup: Remove all containers that have stopped for > 24 hours docker system prune does: - all stopped containers - all networks not used by at least one container - all dangling images - all build cache If so would i…

cleanup actually calls docker prune: launcher 026a664e7 $docker_path container prune --force --filter until=1h >/dev/null $docker_path image prune --all --force --filter until=1h >/dev/null

Is there a way to have the cleanup process triggered after upgrades from the admin interface?

The prune runs at the host level, while admin upgrades are internal to the running container. Also the /.launcher cleanup cleans up old images, but when using the internal admin upgrade you don’t even download new images.

Right. Perhaps the process has changed lately, but I recall having to cleanup many old images manually because they were consuming disk space. Now I have only a couple old images after upgrading to the latest version.

saved me. Thanks, ./launcher cleanup works great.

Esegui regolarmente 'docker system prune' o altre operazioni per mantenere le tue istanze Discourse?
