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.

When I made the wrong command, the application registered hundreds of move jobs in its database. The developer said there is no way to cancel the jobs. If I restart peertube.service then it will notice the incomplete jobs and immediately resume them. I think I'm going to use btrfs next time so I can take a system snapshot before executing risky server commands.

connect your local system up to it with a vpn to traverse your nat

I need a little more detail on this. Here's my takeaway:

Host an (e.g.) OpenVPN server on the webserver, after creating the proper certificate infrastructure.
Connect as client from home PC.
VPN Success. Now I can access each other on the local subnet that starts with a 10. or something.
Mount home PC's NFS share on the webserver.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. Standing up openvpn especially is pretty well documented.
