Trying to do a launcher rebuild and getting this error

It appears to be failing upgrading PostGre because it needs more space? I have plenty of space 23GB

root@EPICORHELP:/var/discourse# df -h

Any ideas?

Renaming the template as suggested in the error worked… However I don’t understand why its failing. I have plenty of space.

Enter the container and do

df - h

Ok… here’s the output… Looks fine?

You’d need 2x your used space as free space for postgres upgrade to work …

I see 55GB used and 79GB available.
Maybe try upgrade with 170GB storage or more?

2x the database size specifically, to be clear.

Any way to find out the exact database size?

When I take backups within discourse the file generated is 3GB…

With compression, so at least 10gb uncompressed.

du - h /var/discourse/shared/standalone/postgres_data

(from memory and on my phone, so, no promises)

Same problem here:

Run: ./launcher rebuild app

And my DB is ~330mb

# du -h /var/discourse/shared/standalone/postgres_data
…
329M    /var/discourse/shared/standalone/postgres_data

Free space is 26GiB

# df -H
