Nextcloud 21.0.2 - New installation but disk full

ℹ️ Support
1

Hello Guys,

Following an hardware issue, I had to reinstall from scratch my Nextcloud server. I am using the version 21.0.2 with Ubuntu 20.04 by following the Example installation on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS — Nextcloud latest Administration Manual latest documentation.

I have around 700GB of disk space with LVM encrypted (only one partition) and I need to upload around 200GB. However, for the second time, the server is full and I can’t boot it anymore. So I will probably need to reinstall it from scratch for the third time.

Do you have any idea what could be the source of the issue? Upload issues with temporary uploaded file not deleted?

Thanks.

What does df -h command show?

You also can install the package “ncdu” and then navigate through the filesystem and find the directorys with the most data. It is a very cool software.

apt-get install ncdu

ncdu

Hello,

After lots of manipulations, I was able to start the server but it’s a nightmare, here what I was able to collect:

df -h

You use snap?

Since it’s a new install, why don’t you try something more traditional, like this for example

Or the ncp debian curl installer

# curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nextcloud/nextcloudpi/master/install.sh | bash
7

ncdu is the best!

No, I am using the Nextcloud package from the website.

What do you mean by more traditional?

Thanks

Don’t use snap… Follow the guide in the linked doc…

I am not using snap for Nextcloud package.

what filesystem are you using? are there any quotas active? if you use btrfs, it might be necessary to adjust some params, delete some snapshots or sth. like that.
GOOD LUCK!
