pictrs isn’t even taking up that much space, postgres takes up most !

I also noticed the logs were growing and taking up quite some gb’s. I’ve used truncate
to make the syslog smaller and journalctl
vacuum
to keep that smaller
i’m trying to find documentation for this config but can’t find any. Do you have a link maybe ?
thanks for your detailed how-to ! Will try this, hopefully it holds 2 more weeks I’m leaving for holidays now :)
oh it’s visible because I’m admin/ mod ?
actually I did delete the server (after creating a snapshot of it) a week or so ago. But this morning I wanted to check lemmyfly.org, couldn’t load the page. Checking my Hetzner dashboard I noticed CPU was spiked at 200%?! It did drop again though, but apparently had last for 2-3 minutes. But prometheus was down, so no graphs apart from the hetzner ones. I doesn’t relate to network traffic spikes, so I don’t know what caused it. I’ve started the prometheus server again (that snapshot was really useful :) ) and will leave it on for a couple of months now.
current system consumption:
I might need to get an extra volume for storage, Lemmy is starting to eat up the root filesystem… Does anyone know how I re-configure Lemmy to look at a different volume for storage ?
Mine too I see now. You can only ban a user when they have posted something right ? There is no list for admins of all users registered ? Maybe I’ll do it direct in the database…
Good idea thanks :)
with what purpose ? posting stuff, or some other use ?
why all these upvotes? This post is on top of my posts since yesterday.
http_response metrics are also up, using https://github.com/martin-helmich/prometheus-nginxlog-exporter
would be nice to see the numbers go up :)
Let us know your findings when you did!
i’m now looking into logging more specific http request data. Maybe https://github.com/martin-helmich/prometheus-nginxlog-exporter?
I use namecheap’s email service privateemail since a couple of years. Google workspace was great, but don’t need the other features anymore and this is fifth of the price https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/email/
or the community you are posting to doesn’t allow Undetermined language, and that’s what you’ve selected. There is no error handling for that yet
Where can I find these stats?
How can people afford to host an instance? Aren’t there costs to hosting a server?
my instance (currently only 18 users) is on a basic server plan costing me ± $7,- a month. When that’s becoming much higher I’ll ask for donations to help me out (and I’ll be fully transparent on the current server costs and how much is donated)
Looking into the database, it contains many thousands of posts. I’m assuming this is stored in the local db for serving it to instance members. So when you open a post from instance B on instance A, A fetches post-data from B, stores it in A database, then serve the content from db A to the browser
The purging of older content is good news I didn’t know that.
14 days later, my postgres directory was 12GB. I was still on 18.1. Updated to 18.3 just now. Postgres directory was downscaled to 2.6GB !!! Thank you Lemmy dev’s and contributors !!
