How to temporarily increase webserver storage by 1-2 TB?
(hexbear.net)
Your answer could potentially help me un-fuck my website!
Edit: The total capacity is currently 160 GB, so no amount of pruning will free up 1 TB. I need to mount an external share or something.
Edit2: I'm trying this but the command isn't working despite zero exit status.
You probably have some archival shit under
/var/logthat you can prune. I will usually go level-by-level runningdu -sh {PARENT_PATH}/*to narrow things down one level at a time until I find the offender. Check under /opt and user home dirs, too. Otherwise, you're probably stuck adding another disk or pushing data out to an S3 bucket.Can I make a BackBlaze bucket and mount that on the filesystem?
Depends on if you can free up enough space on
/to install any packages you may need for the filesystem drivers. I've never had to do it either way; if you have a local rig that you can test with, that might be a start.
