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 !!

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

# du -sch volumes/*
8.0K	volumes/lemmy-ui
3.4G	volumes/pictrs
8.2G	volumes/postgres
12G	total

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 ?
