Hello, I have 160GB to run Lemmy but I saw that as much as 77GB is used by pictrs.

Is there any way to clear the image cache or delete any pictures that are too heavy?

Also 37GB for postgres seems like a lot to me, is there any cache or temporary file that can be cleared?

edit: I am using Lemmy 0.18.5

You could get a storage box which is just 3.81€ for 1TB and mount it via NFS or SSHFS. That’s how we are doing it at Feddit.de

Thanks i think this is a great idea.

Since this problem I think is quite common (at least from reading a few threads and comments around) it might be interesting to create a guide especially regarding the part of having lemmy use this/mounted volume instead of the default one.

I in the meantime will try to look around for some information on how this can be done, any advice is definitely welcome.

Thanks!

I'd just ping @[email protected] here as he might tell you more about it.
