In einer Schleife stecken, beim Wiederherstellen Speicherplatz freizugeben und wieder aufzufüllen

Unterstützung Installation
1

Mein Neuaufbau ist aufgrund von fehlendem Festplattenspeicher fehlgeschlagen, daher muss ich etwas Platz freimachen. Doch ich stecke in einer Schleife fest: ./launcher cleanup gibt ausreichend Speicher frei, um wieder über 5 GB zu kommen. Ich starte also einen Neuaufbau, der jedoch den wiederhergestellten Speicher erneut auffüllt, sodass er nicht abgeschlossen werden kann. Siehe unten.

Wie bekomme ich die Dinge wieder zum Laufen?

$ sudo ./launcher cleanup

Der folgende Befehl wird
- Alle Docker-Images für alte Container löschen
- Alle gestoppten und verwaisten Container löschen

Sind Sie sicher (Y/n):

Clean up some more space so that the build has enough breathing room to complete. I find that Docker’s cleanup system is not wonderful at purging old images sometimes, so I sometimes have to do a docker images followed by a long docker rmi <ID> <ID> <ID> ....

How do I know which images I can delete?

Anything not in use by a running container is usually safe enough, as far as Discourse is concerned, because it’ll be re-downloaded and/or rebuilt when you do the needful. There’s not a huge pile of images there, though; it’s probably time for you to get a disk upgrade.

5

So deleting discourse containers is always safe?

Not really. This is a tiny and very low activity forum that has hardly grown in the past months…

docker rmi 64d62a045a4e gives me

Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to delete 64d62a045a4e (cannot be forced) - image has dependent child images
6

Is there any way I can stop it from downloading the latest discourse base image every time I try to rebuild or start the app? I’d like it to just use the old one for now so that I can go to bed…

7

It only downloads it if it is not on local, we really only download an image once. We only bump the required image once every few months in launcher. There are ways to specify a base image BUT you do not want to do that for a rainbow of reasons.

8

Okay, so is there any way I can get rid of one of those images? I surely don’t need two base images?

9

How much disk space do you have?

Can you delete some backups?

10

Sure…

Have you ran ./launcher cleanup it will purge all images not in use.

Deleted them already.

Yes, I tried that. and I get

But when I try to rebuild or start the app, the base images that was presumably deleted by cleanup gets downloaded again and I’m back to where I started.

My suggestion here then if you are ULTRA tight on space is just to go nuclear and and start from scratch.

What is the output of docker ps, you basically need to kill your app container so you can free up the old base image.

13 
$ docker ps

What do you mean by that? Will I need a discourse backup? Cause I don’t have one…

14 
docker rm -f aa6b422d88ca
docker rm -f 1fba0860cbc3
./launcher cleanup 
./launcher rebuild data
./launcher rebuild web_only

But really the root cause here is that you are just way too tight on disk space. I would recommend doubling the size /dev/mappper/vg-lv_root

15

The last step (rebuild web_only) fails:

Trying without the dropbox plugin now…

16

Hmmmm … are you on tests passed… stable or beta?

Also, remove discourse-sync-to-dropbox asap. It looks like it is not working at the moment.

17

Phew! After removing the dropbox plugin my site is finally back up and running. Thanks a lot to everyone for your support!

Since I never changed that, I guess I’m on tests-passed.

I guess you’re right, but how does that relate to discourse’s minimum requirements of 10 GB HDD?

18

10GB is ambitious and absolutely not the case if you are running seperate data and web containers.

19

Ah, I see. I don’t think that was mentioned anywhere. I’ll check tomorrow where that information might be usefully added.

However, the situation seems to look much brighter now:

Not sure where all the space came from but it looks good, doesn’t it? Do you still think I need to upgrade the server?

20

The data container was using the old image, so you had a situation where:

“data container” was saying HEY I need the old Discourse base image
“web container” was saying I need the new image

Not sure where all the space came from but this is a chunk of it.
