So.. add more disk space? 10gb is going to be very tight with rebuilds. Even a digital ocean $10/month droplet has 30gb.

I don’t know if the problem you’re having is similar to the one I had, but this got me past my “space” problem.

I ran through the exact same problem as @AHI and just upgraded the VPS for more disk space. Glad to see this can now be avoided :slight_smile:

Salut @_vincent, oui mais bon, je trouve que les offres DigitalOcean sont meilleur qu’OVH… T’as pris quel offre toi ?

@AHI Go to DigitalOcean

Yo @NotAfk, I upgraded from the 3.5€/mo VPS SSD 1 to the 7€/mo VPS SSD 2.

对于其他想快速释放磁盘空间的人来说，我通过清理旧的 Linux 内核头文件释放了大约 4GB 的空间：

sudo apt install byobu
sudo purge-old-kernel
