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 ?
For me it were the last 30 or something entries in local_user. They all didn’t have email_verified. I access the db through Postico. Also removed all other older accounts that didn’t verify their email address
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?
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?
look for communities you’re interested in here: https://browse.feddit.de/ and subscribe and enjoy the lemmyverse :)
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)
every instance is sharing in the traffic to browse the fediverse. Not one service is responsible for serving content, you (the instance admin) are only serving for your members.
The downside of this is there is a huge amount of replicated data stored everywhere. Content of popular communities will be scraped by and stored on many many servers, filling up servers and increasing storage and bandwith bills for all those servers
no, a random image I just now check was 3.3mb even. But you’re right, the image source does point to the origins server location… Then why are all those images stored on the server ?
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 !!
