Hi :wave: I hava an EC2 Server powered by AWS Educate. It has 8GiB of space, but I’ve also used an external drive of 25GiB that can be mounted anywhere How can I make Discourse to install on it’s mount point? Thanks :+1:

Yep Finally I’ve mounted the extra EBS device of 25GiB to the /var folder and now everything works fine :+1: Also, 25GiB must be enough for a community, no? Could I know how much space has used this community now? To know more or less the maximum that a community can reach :sweat_smile:

Discourse uses /var/discourse, so you could mount it there if you think it’s as fast as the local drive.

So, if I mount the drive to /var/discourse, I should have 25 GiB for it? Because when I tried the warn of you have less than 5GB of space appeared

Hmm. Either you didn’t mount it there, or there is a bug with the space checking code. Edit: that’s wrong. You need space for the docker images too, as explained below. 6gb is going to cause you problems.

There are several folders involved in a typical Discourse install: Docker root dir, typically /var/lib/docker, where docker images live. the folder where your Discourse installer lives, typically /var/discourse/ folders of Discourse persistence, typically /var/discourse/shared. If you ar…

It worked now There was an error in the space script, IDK why I’ve disabled the exit 1 line and I see that on Discourse I have 25Gb of space Thanks :+1:

Yeah, I supposed this, so in launcher.sh I dissabled the exit function when there’s no more than 5Gb of space

Cool, but if you don’t have space on the docker root dir, the next rebuilds will fail, so point that a bigger folder too.

I’ve added some plugins in app.yml, but when I execute ./launcher rebuild app, I get this: 2017-07-10 12:43:05.106 UTC [87] LOG: shutting down 2017-07-10 12:43:05.133 UTC [87] LOG: database system is shut down Error response from daemon: Error processing tar file(exit status 1): write /var/www/di…

Well, one of your volumes is out of space – most likely, /var/lib/docker cannot be written to anymore, as @Falco mentioned above. You will need to make sure this folder sits on your external drive too.

Over time I’m guessing /var/discourse will grow as the site grows. Is that also true for /var/lib/docker? Will that grow with updates/new site content or is that relatively constant? I’m currently at about 3.5GB for that folder.

/var/discourse and all the directories below it are the only place we store persistent data.
