My Lemmy instance has reached 100% storage so I can no longer use it. Is there a safe way I can clear cache or make some more space available without upgrading the disk space? I set up the instance with the ansible script many months ago and migrating to object storage seems to be a decent amount of work I don’t have to commit to currently.
I tried searching on the admin wiki (https://wiki.lemmyadmin.site) but I couldn’t find anything
Media is likely what’s taking up the most space. Pict-rs supports object storage, at the least that would be more cost-effective (usually around $4 per month for 250gb) than scaling up your machine’s disk space
I’m worried I can’t migrate to object storage considering I have 0 disk space available though. I’d like to clear a bit of space before making the move
Yeah you might be right, not sure if migration will require any extra space but it’s possible. Some providers offer very cheap snapshots or backups and you could just make one while you attempt to migrate. If it doesn’t work, it would be easy to revert at least
There’s not much more of an option unless someone else knows of one, but at some point you will need more storage again and object storage is just cheaper than block storage
