Not sure if you’re using nginx outside of docker, but if you are this guide is pretty swell. I’ve used the same for my own DO droplet.

ran out of space again today.

cleaned up a bit but we’re close to the edge. hopefully it’ll make it until tomorrow morning when i can really check out what’s the best approach.

i moved the DO server to a location that supports their new “Volumes” feature but integration might be a pain. will post updates here.

#36

if space is an issue, the first thing that comes to mind is disabling binary uploads; images, audio files, zipped patch attachments. keep the db text-only. require 3rd-party hosting for those files, at least in the short term.

i edited the post but i can’t seem to be able to upload them. (nothing to worry about though, just gorgeous pictures of birds flying patterns)

Yeah.
Something must be still happening:
I am seeing a lot of missing images, including avatar images (mine and others).
Perhaps the move/expansion is still propagating?

#41

The gravatar connection also appears to be broken.

#42

still fighting the server now

#43

moved the images back to the main disk, things are working. will see if i can move the backups onto the spare disk instead.

@tehn how’s it going storage and performance wise?
If you need any help moving the images to S3 (for example) feel free to ping me :slight_smile:

@simonvanderveldt images/downloads now use digitaloceans’ “volumes” service so we’re good for now

also, just doubled the RAM and CPU thanks to DO’s new pricing. hopefully this site will feel much faster starting now.
