Docker - Filling disk space (urgent issue)

[bpj]

Wappler Version : 4.2.0
Operating System : Mac (M1)
Server Model: NodeJS
Database Type: MySQL
Hosting Type: AWS Docker

This may be something specific to my project but I have found my web service coming to a grinding halt because of low disk space. I thought initially that the sudo docker system prune command may resolve it, and to some degree it did but I’m now finding that the space on a 16GB HDD has completely filled

This is a project where the DB is remote (AWS RDS) and the Web Server is only using <500MB

(inc. all uploads folders)

As you can see, the docker folder has grown to 12GB and one specific container is using 10GB of that.

I was wondering if the introduction of real-time logs in a recent update might be filling the container.

How can I resolve this? As I say, the usual prune command has little effect!

See:

Error Docker: "out of space"

No problem Did the error occur when you hit the deploy button? Because I see the system check info only before. What you can do to test space on your droplet is: make sure you have the target where the droplet is defined as active select from the terminals dropdown: “Host Server SSH” (it can take a bit to connect) [image] you will see a system status when it connects then when the terminal is started, to see the available space, execute: df -h [image] to see the …

OK. Narrowing this down, there is a HUGE log in the web container:

As I said in the original post, I have tried the prune command

I see, well for the log there are other options.

Disk Space on Docker Containers used by log files

I have a Docker Droplet with Digital Ocean running a Node App created in Wappler 3.9.9 that runs multiple scheduled server actions, each time i deploy the App, Digital Ocean reports disk space reducing to about 15% (3.75gb) of my 25gb machine, after a single day of running, it is slowly increasing disk space up to around 60% (15gb), and if I leave it for a second day running it eventually runs out of disk space and I have to redeploy to get my space back. The only thing I can even imagine that …

Thanks George - panic over! Is there a reason why the default docker build doesn’t limit the log size or have an option to choose a desired size?

[George]

Well you should ask the docker makers about that … seems like a bad default choice to me too.

[bpj]

If the Docker-compose file is created by Wappler, could you not add the relevant settings to limit logging?

[George]

Yes we plan to do so, there are just so many options.

A cleanup button has been added to Wappler 4.4.2
