High disk usage

Hi, anyone know why my homarr docker container would bloat and use up any free HDD space?
Earlier today it was sitting at 79G disk usage until I restarted it...

- OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Proxmox VM)
- Homarr Version 1.4.0
- Can't attach the logs. They include private keys for the integrations, and seem to go on forever.

Found the disk usage was in /var/lib/docker/containers, and ran the following to find the culprit:

root@docker01:/var/lib/docker/containers# du -sh */

Then I found the name of the container using the disk space:

root@docker01:/var/lib/docker/containers# docker ps -a --filter "id=d22e1d61da48a65cf4a9613660ebaffc0eb1c10e2a959cbc140bb0e7d0bd26ea" --format "{{.ID}} {{.Names}}"
d22e1d61da48 homarr

root@docker01:/var/lib/docker/containers# docker ps -a --filter "id=d22e1d61da48a65cf4a9613660ebaffc0eb1c10e2a959cbc140bb0e7d0bd26ea" --format "{{.ID}} {{.Names}}"
d22e1d61da48 homarr

There were some integrations with bad config (wrong DNS entry), but it seems weird that the homarr container should use 79G of disk space anyway...
Docker compose config in comments.

Solution

See https://github.com/homarr-labs/homarr/issues/2204, please limit the log size on your host. Also, we reduced the logging for the next release.
