Spurious warning about downloading remote images?

[adamengst (Adam C. Engst)]

I just upgraded to 2.4.0 beta 11, and quite shortly afterward received a warning that:

The download_remote_images_to_local setting was disabled because the disk space limit at download_remote_images_threshold was reached.

However, when I checked my admin console, it would appear I have 4.8 GB of free space. Any idea what happened (bug in b11?), and if there’s any harm in turning download_remote_images_to_local back on?

Thanks!

Have you checked the setting download_remote_images_threshold? It is clearly not a spurious warning unless the setting kicked in too early.

If it is 10% and you have 50GB of storage then it will stop when your site hit 5GB free.

Most likely this will help:

Downloading remote images disabled due to disk space

log in via SSH and apt-get autoclean apt-get autoremove git pull ./launcher rebuild app ./launcher cleanup That should fix you up nicely, cleaning both Docker containers and cleaning up old Ubuntu automatic kernel upgrade archives too, which can be quite large over a year.

Doh! You’re of course likely right.

That was a big help, thank you! Gigabytes saved.
