Hi, I run a small self-hosted forum on a 25GB cloud VM running Debian 13. I was attempting to update to 2026.6.0-latest using ./launcher rebuild app and the update cancelled because I didn’t have enough disk space. I followed the prompt to clean up Docker images, but that didn’t help. I have 3.9 GB …

You’ve just cleaned up two bases images leaving the local built image.

Are the base images just remnants of the original installation process? Or do they get downloaded during a rebuild app as well?

Yes. The latest image is downloaded if missing and you will build your local image from there. I can’t think of a reason why you might want to keep more than one base image …
