Phew, the media storage usage for my Mastodon hosting finally went down. I was getting a bit worried I'd have to upgrade my little solo instance again 😅
I uh, might have gotten carried away adding some more relays this time around - they work great! but if you add too many it'll ramp that usage up 📈
I do wish there was a way to view what relay is doing the most damage, perhaps there is, I just don't know where to see it.
@christian Would love to see that info to, in the end it's the logs somehow.
In any case, I imagine you have set a cron job to clean out media.
Here's mine, it's pretty aggressive: https://ricard.dev/improving-mastodons-disk-usage/
@ricard Yes my host has the media cache clear after some time - which is great; I was just worried I was going to fill it up before it started kicking in 😆
I'm on a freshly setup instance (just over a week) so it always worries me to see the usage ramp up, this time quicker than last because of the relays I decided to add. Think I've got it in a sweet spot now.
