[SOLVED] Appwrite instance take a lot of space

That's okay
You see, in the attached photo you can see that the available space is the same as the main drive
Docker uses overlay2 to connect the volumes to the containers

Okay ! So the 10gb is Appwrite + the OS data right ?
Appwrite space is ok for you 🙂 ?

Thanks for your really quick help @Binyamin

If you do want to find the fault and the big files, run

 du -sh /*

Then, you can go folder by folder to find to over use.
But if you have the

• Images
• Volumes
  At 5GB then it seems normal

Thanks a lot !

Last question, is this script is up-to-date ? https://gist.github.com/Meldiron/47b5851663668102a676aff43c6341f7

I think it should work yes,
Also check Steven's one as it also dump the DB

Yeah I already has the steven one, working perfectly !
My question is all the scripts (steven or Meldiron) works exactly the same ? All does a complete backup ?

Yes,

I would suggest practicing by trying to restore a backup to a new server
I'm using the above script, then, I'm pushing it to remote host using rclone

Nice tips !
Thanks @Binyamin

BTW it seems overlay2 take 21G :p

Is it normal ?

Isn't your server 20GB in total?

Yep !

So it's probably symlinks
Try

du -sh /var/lib/docker/overlay2/*

To find out

Thats very huge !

it doesn't seems like it's a problem as it is
As layers shares with each other

Ok perfect thanks @Binyamin !

[SOLVED] Appwrite instance take a lot of space

Same here, mine reached 70 GB 😅 It's a good thing you asked

the backup methods are different for the database. Matej's script saves the volume data. My script doest a sql dump.
