hello, on my server on which only Lemmy is running, I don’t understand why it fills up space all the time. Every day it increases by about 1GB thus risking reaching the limit after a short time.
It is not the images’ fault because there is a size limit for uploading and they are also transformed into .webp.
The docker-compose file is the one from Ansible 0.18.2 with the limits for loggin already in it (max-size 50m, max-file 4).
What could it be? Is there anything in particular that I can check?
Thanks!

It warms my heart to see lemmy instance owners learning about the nuances of db administration 🥰
I don’t think you should be enjoying the fact that there are some problems that could realistically cause a large portion of Lemmy instances to become unsustainable. We should be working towards a way that we can ensure the Lemmy ecosystem thrives.
I mean… it was kind of a joke. At the same time, if someone is hosting a database on their own hardware, it is important to understand when and how the database actually releases disk.
At this point it might actually be worth adding it to my CV 😂
