My instance increases by 1GB per day - eviltoast

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!

    Extra config options always result in more complexity, so I would strongly prefer to change the hardcoded pruning interval instead.

    Why would that be the case?

      I’m not too sure as well. Most people running their own Lemmy instance probably want more config options to fit their needs. I like how much I can configure with pictrs straight from the docker compose file for example.
